| "When the history of India's fight for independence comes to be written, the sacrifice made by women of India will occupy the foremost place." - Mahatma Gandhi Women have been known to participate in national liberation movements throughout the world. Although they have not been found to be politically very conscious or involved in day-to-day political issues, women have mobilised themselves during crisis situations. In India, women have participated in the National Freedom Struggle. The history of the freedom struggle of India would be incomplete without recognizing the role of women. |
