Her parents were Upendranath Ganguly and Ambalika Devi. Ambalika Devi was the daughter Trailokyanath Sanyal was a prominent leader of the Brahmo Samaj Aruna completed her education at the Sacred Heart Convent in Lahore and All Saints College in Nanital. Upon her graduation, she worked as a teacher at the Gokhale Memorial School in Calcutta where she would meet Asaf Ali, a leader in the Indian National Congress (Founded on December 28, 1885). Despite familial opposition, they both got married and she would become an active participant during the independence struggle. Role of Aruna Asaf Ali in the Indian Freedom Struggle Aruna Asaf Ali participated in a number of public processions during the Salt Satyagraha and arrested under many trumped-up charges. Despite the Gandhi-Irwin Pact that promised release of all political parties, she was still not released in 1931.

  • Subhas Chandra Bose and the Alternative Politics in India Political Scenarios After Election
    Subhas Chandra Bose and the Alternative Politics in India Political scenarios after election • The Congress victory in the 1937 election and the consequent formation of popular ministries changed the balance of power within the country vis-a-vis the colonial authorities. • The growth of left-wing parties and ideas led to a growing militancy within the nationalist ranks. • The stage seemed to be set for another resurgence of the nationalist movement. • Just at this time, the Congress had to undergo a crisis at the top — an occurrence which plagued the Congress every few years. Way of the crisis within Congress • Subhas Bose had been a unanimous choice as the President of the Congress in 1938. • In 1939, he decided to stand again — this time as the spokesperson of militant politics and radical groups. • Putting forward his candidature on 21 January 1939, Bose said that he represented the ‘new ideas, ideologies, problems and programmes’ that had emerged with ‘the progressive sharpening of the anti-imperialist struggle in India.’ • On 24 January, Sardar Patel, Rajendra Prasad, J.B. Kripalani and four other members of the Congress Working Committee issued a counter statement, declaring that the talk of ideologies, programmes and policies was irrelevant in the elections of a Congress president Result of the election • With the blessings of Gandhiji, Sardar Patel, Rajendra Prasad, J.B. Kripalani other leaders put up Pattabhi Sitaramayya as a candidate for the post. • Subhas Bose was elected on 29 January by 1580 votes against 1377. • Gandhiji declared that Sitaramayya’s defeat was ‘more mine than his.’ Apex of the crisis • But the election of Bose resolved nothing, it only brought the brewing crisis to a head at the Tripuri session of the Congress.
