Women in the freedom movement
In the early anti-colonial struggle
women played major roles in various capacities. Velunachiyar of Sivaganga
fought violently against the British and restored her rule in Sivaganga. Begum
Hazrat Mahal, Rani Lakshmi Bhai of Jhansi led an armed revolt of 1857 against
the British.
In the freedom struggle thousands of
women came out of their homes, boycotted foreign goods, marched in processions,
defied laws, received lathi charges and Courted jails. Their participation in
the struggle added a new dimension of mass character.
