Political Democracy Has Given a New Meaning to Our Independence: Captain Lakshmi Sahgal

With India's 73rd year of Independence coming up, let us learn more about another Women of Freedom; Captain Lakshmi Sahgal. Not only did she fight for political freedom, but for social emancipation of women in a time when 'freedom' seemed like a rare privilege. Today, let's celebrate Captain Lakshmi, the woman who led and formed the Rani of Jhansi Regiment alongside Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose, who led the Provincial Government of Azad Hind.
