That's a wonderful and important focus. The history of India's independence is filled with stories of brave women whose contributions are often overshadowed.
Here are some of the most notable Forgotten Women Freedom Fighters of India, categorized by their unique roles:
👸 Queens, Warriors, and Early Rebels
These women challenged the British authority through armed or political resistance before the major Gandhian movements.
| Name | Key Contribution |
|---|---|
| Kittur Chennamma | Queen of Kittur in Karnataka. She was one of the earliest female rulers to lead an armed rebellion against the British East India Company in 1824, defying their "Doctrine of Lapse." |
| Velu Nachiyar | An 18th-century Queen of Sivaganga. She is considered the first Indian queen to fight against the British East India Company (even before the 1857 Revolt). She formed a women's army. |
| Jhalkari Bai | A woman soldier who served in the army of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi. Due to her striking resemblance to the Rani, she often disguised herself as the Queen to mislead the British, allowing the real Rani to escape during the siege of Jhansi in 1858. |
| Begum Hazrat Mahal | The wife of the deposed Nawab of Awadh. She took command of the rebel forces in Lucknow during the 1857 Rebellion and re-established control over Awadh for a period, refusing to surrender to the British. |
🔪 The Revolutionary Firebrands
These women embraced armed struggle and actively led revolutionary actions.
