Unsung Womens of India's Liberation War

Authors: C. Thanavathi;

Unsung Womens of India's Liberation War

Abstract

Without mentioning women’s contributions to the Indian freedom struggle, the history of the Indian freedom struggle would be incomplete. The sacrifices made by the women of India shall take precedence. They fought with unwavering fortitude and bravery in the face of different tortures, exploitations, and sufferings in order to secure our independence. When the majority of the men freedom fighters were imprisoned, the women stepped forward to lead the fight. The list of remarkable women whose names have gone down in history for their unwavering dedication to India’s service is long. Bhima Bai Holkar fought bravely against British colonel Malcolm in guerilla warfare and defeated him. Many women fought against the British East India Company in the 19th century, including Rani Channama of Kittur and Rani Begum Hazrat Mahal of Avadh, 30 years before the “First War of Independence” in 1857. Women’s contributions to the War of Independence (the Great Revolt) of 1857 were commendable, and even the Revolt’s leaders admired them. Rani of Ramgarh, Rani Jindan Kaur, Rani Tace Bai, Baiza Bai, Chauhan Rani, and Tapasvini Maharani led their troops into battle with courage. Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi, whose bravery and exceptional leadership set a shining example of true patriotism. Women from all walks of life, all castes, religions, and communities joined the national movement, including those from educated and liberal households, as well as those from rural areas and from all walks of life, castes, religions, and communities. In the twentieth century, Sarojini Naidu, Kasturba Gandhi, Vijayalakmi Pundit, and Annie Besant are names that are still known for their exceptional contributions on the battlefield and in politics.
