In 1853, under the tutelage of his long-time retainer Bhajan Lal (himself a Christian convert), he converted to [[Christianity]] at Fatehgarh Sahib with the approval of the Governor-General [[James Broun-Ramsay, 1st Marquess of Dalhousie|Lord Dalhousie]]. His conversion remains controversial, and it occurred before he turned 15. He later had serious doubts and regrets regarding this decision and reconverted to Sikhism in 1886.{{who said|date=June 2021}}<ref>{{cite book |last=Campbell |first=Christy |date=2008 |title=The Maharajah's Box |publisher=Harper Collins |page=100 |isbn=978-0-00-653078-7}}</ref>

He was also heavily and continuously exposed to Christian texts under the tutelage of the devout [[John Spencer Login|Sir John Spencer Login]]. His two closest childhood friends were both English [[Anglican]] missionaries. In May 1854 he was sent into exile in Britain.
