This digital exhibition marks 75 years of India’s Independence, and 40 years of the formation of the All India Democratic Women’s Association, the largest women’s organisation in the country. In this series, AIDWA aims to revive the memories of women freedom fighters, who played a militant and revolutionary role in the struggle for independence. Many of them were left leaning revolutionaries, whose actions laid the foundations of contemporary women’s movements. In the first video of this series, we bring to you the sacrifices of some women martyrs and the stories of survivors of historically acclaimed struggles like the RIN Mutiny, INA, Chittagong Uprising, and many such struggles in the late 1930s and 1940s.
