PREFACE This subject was chosen with a view to recording the work done by women in various phases of the freedom struggle from 1857 to 1947. In the course of my study I found that women of India, when given an opportunity, did not lag behind in any field, whether political, administrative or educational. The book covers a period of ninety years. It begins with 1857 when the first attempt for freedom was made, and ends with 1947 when India attained independence. While selecting this topic I could not foresee the difficulties which subsequently had to be encountered in the way of collecting material.

Apart from her many debates in the assembly, she also led the chorus in singing Jana Gana Mana after its official adoption as the national anthem on January 24th, 1950. Purnima Banerji was one among a radical network of women from Uttar Pradesh who stood at the forefront of the freedom movement in late 1930’s and 40’s. Her colleagues included Sucheta Kripalani, Vijaylakshmi Pandit, Uma Nehru, Rameshwari Nehru, Hajra Begum and many more. She was a member of the Congress Socialist Party since its inception in 1934, and a secretary for the Indian National Congress’ city committee in Allahabad. In 1941, she and Sucheta Kripalani were arrested for offering Individual Satyagraha. She was later arrested again for her participation in the Quit India Movement. She is said to have pursued her B.A in prison **. She was a close friend of the Nehru family, often sharing jail space with Nehru’s sisters, nieces, and with Indira Gandhi. Purnima Banerji was also the younger sister of freedom fighter Aruna Asaf Ali. One of the more striking aspects of Purnima Banerji’s speeches in the constituent assembly was her steadfast commitment to a socialist ideology.

  • Women's Participation in the Indian National Movement
    Women’s Participation in the Indian National Movement Seema Srivastava A Project submitted for UGC, PG. E Pathshala 1 Women’s participation in the Indian freedom struggle is a significant area of contemporary historical inquiry. Pre 1970’s, their roles, opinions, motivations, specificity, and extent in shaping the freedom movement was rarely acknowledged.1 This essay highlights this and the multiple modes through which women contributed towards such valuable historical legacy of independent India. Post Plassey (1757), John Company steadily established it’s political paramountcy over the subcontinent, an exercise scarred by numerous rebellions, insurrections, revolts including agrarian, military mutinies, beginning Buxur (1864). But John Company usually prevailed pensioning the mughal monarch and later also the Peshwa ( Bithoor, 1818); the mighty Nawabs Haider Ali, Tipu Sultan of Mysore (1799) were crushed, the Awadh nawabi reduced to vassalage; but Col Malcolm was defeated by Bimabai Holkar in guerrilla warfare, and Queen Chenamma, successfully defended her small kingdom of Kittoor (in Karnataka) from being annexed,, demonstrating female prowess. The 1857 Uprising was unique in that several women led the anti imperial struggle, thus figured in administrative, military despatches, becoming visible as warriors, leaders, decision makers. Powerful feminine perspectives emerged, but Rankeian based imperial, nationalist narratives focused on an exclusive few - Rani Laxmibai (Jhansi), Begum Hazrat Mahal’s valiant, unsuccessful attempts in securing Lucknow, Shahjehanpur, spurning Queen Victoria’s offer of pardon, preferring refuge in Nepal; thus obscuring the extra ordinary contributions of not only the socially economically 2 marginalised, but even eclipsing the patriotism, sacrifices of Tai Bai (Jaluan), Baizabai, Rani Tejaswani, and Rani Chauhan of Anupshahr.

ABSTRACT The dissertation focuses on a group of women married into the Nehru family who, from the early 1900s, engaged in public social and political work for the cause of their sex, becoming important figures within the north Indian female movement. History has not granted much room to the feminist work they undertook in these decades, preferring to concentrate on their engagement in Gandhian nationalist mobilisations, from the late 1920s. This research instead focuses on the previous years. It investigates, on the one hand, the means Nehru women utilised to enter the public sphere (writing, publishing a Hindi women’s journal, starting local female organisations, joining all-India ones), and the networks within which they situated themselves, on the national and international level.

  • A Study on Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru)
    WOMEN IN THE LIVES OF THE NATIONAL LEADERS OF INDIA: (A STUDY ON PANDIT JAWAHARLAL NEHRU) A Thesis submitted to the University of North Bengal For the award of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Roshani Rai Assistant Professor Department of History Tripura University Suryamaninagar Tripura 799022 GUIDE Dr. Ichhimuddin Sarkar Professor Department of History University of North Bengal September, 2016 ABSTRACT Introduction This dissertation entitled ‘Women in the Lives of the National Leaders of India: (A Study on Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru)’ aims to study the significant influence exercised by women in shaping, moulding and influencing the life of Jawaharlal Nehru. Jawaharlal Nehru shines as a multi-faceted personality amongst the world figures of the democratic system of thought and leadership. Incidentally the political life and activities of Jawaharlal Nehru have been variously projected but whether women had a role in influencing his plan and courses of action have not been sufficiently explored. Therefore this study is intended to show how Jawaharlal Nehru had come in touch with some leading women personalities of his time like Sarojini Naidu, Annie Beasant, Aruna Asaf Ali, Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, Mridula Sarabhai, Madame Chiang Kai- shek, Lady Mountbatten and many more who had not only given company to Nehru but seem to have nurtured his political ideas and the achievements that he could materialize as a national leader. Besides these women, his own women family members had a great hand in the evolvement of Nehru as a man which led to the emergence of the well- integrated personality of Nehru. His mother Swarup Rani had a great hand in instilling and inculcating traditional values in Nehru which formed a basis of his ideals and visions throughout his life.
