🔅Bhikaji became the first Indian to unfurl the National Flag on foreign soil (Germany, 1907).
🇮🇳 “This is the flag of independent India. I appeal to all gentlemen to stand and salute the Flag.”
🔅Surprisingly all the representatives at the International Socialist Conference stood up and saluted the first flag of independent Hindustan.
🔅This was no mean achievement as Indian independence was still 40 years away.
🔅Madam Cama’s actions and words were treason for the British Raj and had they caught her, she would have been deported to Andaman’s dreaded Kala Pani jail.
Bhikaji was an indomitable lady who played an important role in the early years of India’s freedom struggle. What are your thoughts?

🖊️ Rokeya realised that social injustices and extreme forms of purdah kept Muslim women backward.
🖊️With her skills in writing fine Bangla prose, she started using her pen to address a wide range of subjects: social prejudice, adverse effects of the purdah system, women's education, social repression on women, women's rights and her progressive views of women's awakening. She also wrote against the tradition of childhood marriage and polygamy.
🖊️Her literary genius juxtaposed her organisational capabilities and helped her in the movement for women's education.
🖊️She understood that nothing but education would emancipate Muslim women, and she worked towards that end with the intellect of a teacher, zeal of a social reformer and conscience of a humanitarian.
🖊️ Rokeya is still remembered for her liberal thoughts, secular outlook and powerful writing.

🏹The state of Jharkhand was created on his birth anniversary in 2000.
🏹During the period, 1886 to 1890, Birsa Munda spent a large amount of time in Chaibasa which was close to the centre of the Sardars agitation.
🏹Birsa Munda took elements from Vaishnavism, Christianity and Mundari religion to propound his own ‘religion’, which at the same time was distinct from all the three.
🏹The tribal communities had a distinctive label for the outside exploiters or diku.
🏹The Birsaite rebellion was preceded by a series of tribal uprisings in the Chotanagpur plateau and adjoining areas like the Kol insurrection (1830-33), Santhal rebellion (1855).
🏹Birsa Munda was arrested by the British police while he was sleeping with his tribal guerilla army at Jamkopai forest in Chakradharpur.
Birsa Munda was more than a social reformer. He was also a revolutionary.
