at June 7, 2005 6:54 AMIndia has for a long time produced almost as many feckless female leaders as she did male ones. Unlike in most other civilizations and contrary to popular belief, Indian women played politically and socially important roles since times unknown. Here is a look at a few such forgotten women heroes of the Indian freedom struggle.
india women, women india freedom fighters, freedom struggle of womensWoman’s participation in India’s freedom struggle began as early as 1817 when Bhima Bai Holkar fought bravely against the British colonel Malcolm and defeated him in guerilla warfare. In 1824 Rani Channama of Kittur resisted ate armed might of the East Indian Company.Posted by shanti at August 10, 2003 9:27 AMThe role played by women in the Great Revolt of 1857 invited the admiration even leaders of the Revolt Rani of Ramgarh, Rani Jindan Kaur, Rani Tace Bai, Baiza Bai, Chauhan Rani, Tapasvini Maharani daringly led their troops into the battlefield.
The greatest however was Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi whose heroism and superb leadership laid an outstanding example for all future generations of women freedom fighters. Married to Gangadhar Rao head of the state of Jhansi. She was not allowed to adopt a successor after his death by the British, and Jhansi was annexed.

Only yesterday, I was watching a play on TV, on the life and times of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi. She definitely was the greatest example of women freedom fighters.

I agree, Sameer - I feel so proud when I think of how many women we had fighting on the battlefield side-by-side with men waay before there were feminists in the West :)
Will change the blogroll now.

Ok, I am positively sick of these homework requests. Folks, you are supposed to work on your stuff yourself. If you need information, go use Google and find it yourselves. No one is going to bring it to you on a silver platter.
Posted by: shanti at June 7, 2005 6:54 AM
hey , u ppl .. u must all be in 9th grde , right … this year we all gotta do this project, and we have bt 6 choices of topics… i chose the same topic… shanti, i agree wid u , althoughhh … we just want contributions, or links. not the whole 20-page (fullscape sheets, 40 sides) project,, it sucks hard. i have about 3 months,(my summer vacation), complete it, but itz hrd .. summer is 2 enjoy !! .. by the way, i live in kuwait , where summer actually is BAD .. but the swimming, icecream and roamin in mallz wid friends, is cool !!
