CONTRIBUTION OF WOMEN IN INDIAN FREEDOM MOVEMENT DURING 1920-1947

India’s struggle for independence from British rule was marked by the courage and sacrifice of numerous women freedom fighters who played pivotal roles in the movement. These women defied societal norms and risked their lives fight for India’s freedom, leaving an indelible mark on the nation’s history. When most of the men freedom fighters were in prison, the women came forward and took charge of the struggle. The entire history of the freedom movement is replete with the saga of bravery, sacrifice and political sagacity of hundreds and thousands of women of our country. However, without female freedom movement achieving Independent India would remain a dream. The Indian women broke free from a number of limitations and their conventional duties and obligations that were focused on the home. Women who participated freedom struggle movement in India’s during the period 1920-1947 were Sarojini Naidu,Kamala Devi Chattopadhyay,Basanti Devi, Kalpana Dutta,Sucheta Kriplani,Matangini Hazra etc. Their participation in freedom struggle is significant and respectful.
