Ten famous women in Hindustan
There are
many women in India (Hindustan) who were famous for their different works and career
in them. The Ten (10) famous names and small description are given below:
Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi (19 November 1828 – 18
June 1858) was the queen of the Maratha-ruled princely
state of Jhansi, situated in the north-central part
of India. She was one of the leading figures of
the Indian
Rebellion of 1857 and for Indian nationalists a symbol of resistance
to the rule
of the British East
India Company in the subcontinent.
Lakshmibai was born probably on 19 November 1828 in the
holy town of Varanasi into a Brahmin family. She was
named Manikarnika and was nicknamed Manu. Her father was Moropant Tambe and her
mother Bhagirathi Bai. Her parents came from Maharashtra. Her mother died when she was
four. Her father worked for a court Peshwa of Bithoor district who brought Manikarnika up
like his own daughter. The Peshwa called her "Chhabili", which means
"playful". She was educated at home. She was more independent in her
childhood than others of her age; her studies included archery, horsemanship,
and self-defence.
Manikarnika was married to the Maharaja of Jhansi, Raja Gangadhar Rao, in
1842, and was afterwards called Lakshmibai (or Laxmibai). She gave birth to a
boy named Damodar Rao in 1851, but when he was four months old he died. The
Raja adopted a child called Anand Rao, the son of Gangadhar Rao's cousin, who
was renamed Damodar Rao, on the day before he died. The adoption was in the
presence of the British political officer who was given a letter from the raja
requesting that the child should be treated with kindness and that the
government of Jhansi should be given to his widow for her lifetime. After the
death of the raja in November 1853 because Damodar Rao was adopted, the British East
India Company, under Governor-General Lord
Dalhousie, applied the Doctrine of Lapse, rejecting Damodar Rao's
claim to the throne and annexing the state to its territories. In March 1854,
Lakshmibai was given a pension of Rs. 60,000 and ordered to leave the palace
and the fort.
Rani Lakshmibai was accustomed to ride on horseback accompanied by a small
escort between the palace and the temple though sometimes she was carried by
palanquin. Her horses included Sarangi, Pavan and Badal (see her escape from
the fort during the siege, below). The Rani Mahal, the palace of Rani
Lakshmibai, has now been converted into a museum. It houses a collection of
archaeological remains of the period between 9th and 12th centuries AD.
According to a memoir purporting to be by Damodar Rao he
was among his mother's troops and household at the battle of Gwalior; together
with others who had survived the battle (some 60 retainers with 60 camels and
22 horses) he fled from the camp of Rao Sahib of Bithur and as the village
people of Bundelkhand dared not aid them for fear of reprisals from the British
they were forced to live in the forest and suffer many privations. After two
years there were about 12 survivors and these together with another group of 24
they encountered sought the city of Jhalrapatan where there were yet more
refugees from Jhansi. Damodar Rao surrendered himself to a British official and
his memoir ends in May 1860 when he has been allowed a pension of Rs. 10,000,
seven retainers only, and is in the guardianship of Munshi Dharmanarayan.
The Blessed Teresa
of Calcutta, M.C., commonly known as Mother Teresa (26 August
1910 – 5 September 1997), was an Albanian born, Indian Roman Catholic Religious Sister.
Mother Teresa founded the Missionaries of
Charity, a Roman Catholic religious
congregation, which in 2012 consisted of over 4,500 sisters and is
active in 133 countries. They run hospices and homes for people with HIV/AIDS,
leprosy and tuberculosis; soup kitchens; children's and family counseling
programmes; orphanages; and schools. Members of the order must adhere to the
vows of chastity, poverty and obedience, and the fourth vow, to give
"Wholehearted and Free service to the poorest of the poor".
She was the recipient of numerous honours including the
1979 Nobel Peace Prize.
In late 2003, she was beatified, the
third step toward possible sainthood, giving
her the title "Blessed Teresa of Calcutta". A second miracle credited to Mother Teresa is required
before she can be recognised as a saint by the Catholic Church. She was admired by many;
in 1999, a poll of Americans ranked her first in Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the
20th Century. However, she has also been accused of failing to
provide medical care or painkillers, misusing charitable money, and maintaining
positive relationships with dictators.
Mother Teresa had first been recognised by the Indian government more than
a third of a century earlier when she was awarded the Padma Shri in 1962 and the Jawaharlal Nehru Award for International Understanding
in 1969. She continued to receive major Indian awards in subsequent years,
including India's highest civilian award, the Bharat Ratna, in 1980. Her official
biography was written by an Indian civil servant, Navin Chawla, and published in 1992.
On 28 August 2010, to commemorate the 100th anniversary
of her birth, the government of India issued a special 5 Rupee coin, being the
sum she first arrived in India with. President Pratibha Patil said of Mother Teresa,
"Clad in a white sari with a blue border, she and the sisters of
Missionaries of Charity became a symbol of hope to many – the aged, the
destitute, the unemployed, the diseased, the terminally ill, and those
abandoned by their families.
Indian views on Mother Teresa were not uniformly
favourable. Her critic Aroup Chatterjee,
who was born and raised in Calcutta but lived in London, reports that "she
was not a significant entity in Calcutta in her lifetime". Chatterjee
blames Mother Teresa for promoting a negative image of Calcutta, exaggerating
the work done by her Mission, and misusing the funds and privileges at her
disposal. Her presence and profile grated in parts of the Indian political
world, as she often opposed the Hindu Right. The Bharatiya Janata
Party clashed with her over the Christian Dalits,
but praised her in death, sending a representative to her funeral. The Vishwa Hindu
Parishad, on the other hand, opposed the government's decision to
grant her a state funeral. Its secretary Giriraj Kishore said that "her first
duty was to the Church and social service was incidental" and accused her
of favouring Christians and conducting "secret baptisms" of the dying.
But, in its front page tribute, the Indian fortnightly Frontline
dismissed these charges as "patently false" and said that they had
"made no impact on the public perception of her work, especially in
Calcutta". Although praising her "selfless caring", energy and
bravery, the author of the tribute was critical of Mother Teresa's public
campaigning against abortion and that she claimed to be non-political when
doing so.
After Mother Teresa's death in 1997, the Holy See began the process of
beatification, the third step toward possible canonisation. This process requires the
documentation of a miracle performed from
the intercession of Mother Teresa.
In 2002, the Vatican recognised as a miracle the healing
of a tumor in the abdomen of an Indian woman, Monica Besra, after the
application of a locket containing Mother Teresa's picture. Besra said that a
beam of light emanated from the picture, curing the cancerous tumor. Critics—including
some of Besra's medical staff and, initially, Besra's husband—said that
conventional medical treatment had eradicated the tumor. Dr. Ranjan Mustafi,
who told The New York Times he had treated Besra, said that the cyst was
not cancer at all but a cyst caused by tuberculosis. He said, "It was not
a miracle.... She took medicines for nine months to one year." According
to Besra's husband, "My wife was cured by the doctors and not by any
miracle."
Indira
Priyadarshini Nehru (1917-1984), was born on November 19, 1917, in Allahabad,
the only child of Jawaharlal Nehru, the first prime minister of India. A
graduate of Visva-Bharati University, Bengal, she also studied at the
University of Oxford, England. In 1938 she joined the National Congress party
and became active in India's independence movement. In 1942 she married Feroze
Gandhi, a Parsi lawyer also active in the party. Shortly after, both were
arrested by the British on charges of subversion and spent 13 months in prison.
When India won its independence in 1947 and Nehru took office as prime
minister, Gandhi became his official hostess. (Her mother had died in 1936.)
She also served as his confidante on national problems and accompanied him on foreign
trips.
In 1955 she
was elected to the executive body of the Congress party, becoming a national
political figure in her own right; in 1959 she became president of the party
for one year. In 1962, during the Chinese-Indian border war, she coordinated civil
defense activities. Following the death of her father in May 1964, Gandhi
became minister of information and broadcasting in Lal Bahadur Shastri's
government. In this post she extended broadcasting time, liberalized censorship
policies, and approved a television education project in family planning. When
Shastri died suddenly in January 1966, Gandhi succeeded him as prime minister.
The following year she was elected to a 5-year term by the parliament members
of the dominant Congress party. She led her party to a landslide victory in the
national elections of 1971. In 1975 Gandhi was convicted of a minor infraction
of the election laws during the 1971 campaign. Maintaining innocence, she
charged that the conviction was part of an attempt to remove her from office
and, instead of resigning, declared a national state of emergency on June 26.
Although her conviction was soon overturned by the Indian Supreme Court, the
emergency was continued. Gandhi placed many aspects of life in India under her
strict control, and thousands of dissenters were imprisoned. Many saw in these
actions the influence of her younger son, Sanjay Gandhi, a political neophyte
on whom she relied more and more for assistance. Hoping to demonstrate popular
support for her regime, which critics contended was undermining India's
democratic system, Gandhi called a general election in March 1977; She lost her
seat in parliament, and the Congress party was defeated. In the elections of
January 1980, however, she made a spectacular comeback and was able to form a
new majority government. When Sanjay died in a plane crash that June, she began
grooming her older son, Rajiv Gandhi, as her successor. On October 31, 1984,
after she had moved vigorously to suppress Sikh insurgents, she was shot to death
by Sikh members of her security guard.
It was on 20 May, 1964 when a girl was born in Kerala who
went on to become the best sprinter of not only India, but also of Asia. The
name of the girl is Pilavulakandi Thekkeparmabi Usha. It was her phenomenal
performance in various national and international meets which made her an
exceptional woman athlete.
She began her wonderful career in the 1982 Asian Games
held in New Delhi where she two gold medals in the 100 metre and 200 metre
races. She kept the Indian flag high by winning 4 gold, 1 silver in the Track
and Field events. Her success story continued in Jakarta in 1958 where she won
Six medals at a single championship.
In the 1986 Asia held in Seoul, she achived the
distinction of winning the maximum number of Gold medals ny a single athlete in
a single international meet. In the 4th Asia Track and Field Championship she
won 3 gold, 3 silver and 1 bronze medals. The Goverment of India has honored
the sprint queen by awarding her the Arjuna Award and the Padma shri.
Sarojini Naidu (1879-1949),
the 'Nightingale of India,' is remembered as a leading woman nationalist
leader of India's political struggle for independence. Born in 1879 as Sarojini
Chattopadhyay and one of the brightest students in school, she blossomed into a
writer of passionate verses on a variety of themes. Her works on poetry are The
Golden Threshold, published in 1905; The Feather of the Dawn; The Bird of Time,
published in 1912, and The Broken Wing, published in 1917.
After finishing studies at
the Madras Presidency, she went to pursue further studies at King's College in
London after obtaining a scholarship. It was only after her marriage to Dr.
Govindarajulu Naidu in 1893 that she became determined to serve the people in
need with courage and perseverance. She urged the student community to stand
united and fight against racial and communal disintegration. She worked to
encourage the setting up of homes for orphans and other needy persons and
schools where girls could pursue education.
She entered politics about the year 1902 with Gopal Other Eminent
Personalities Krishna Gokhale as her initiator. Under his guidance, she began
to work for the cause of India's freedom from the foreign yoke. Thus she was
one of the first women to participate in the national struggle for
independence. Working close to Mahatma Gandhi and participating in all of his
programmes including the Dandi March, Sarojini Naidu received much adulation.
She became the President of the Indian National Congress in 1925. The Asian
Relations Conference in the year 1947 was presided by her.
Following India's
independence, she was given the governorship of Uttar Pradesh.
A household name for all
Hindus, Meera Bai belonged to the royal Rathode family of Marwar. Born in 1547
A.D., she played with an idol of Lord Krishna since her childhood. She was so
attracted to the idol that she took him her husband.
At she was married to
Prince Bhoja, son of Maharana Pratap of Chittor. It is said that during the
entire ceremony she held fast the idol of Lord Krishna and considered that she
was actually being married to Lord Krishna.
At her in law's home, she
fulfilled all her marital obligations towards the husband, but she could not
give up her devotion to Lord Krishna and as such after performing her household
duties she would get lost in meditation and worship of the Lord.
She even used to sing and dance with the other devotees and saints,
which was never liked by her family members. Meera Bai remained indifferent to
their disappointment.
It is even said that once
her family members gave her poison under the impression of holy water, but it
could do no harm to Meera.
In her later years she went to Vrindavan where she spent her life in the
worship of Lord Krishna. Her bhajans are popular and sung even today.
Born with the name Arjumand Banu, Mumtaz Mahal was the woman
in whose memory the Taj Mahal was built. As the 14 year old daughter of Asaf
Khan she married Mughal Prince Khurran, also known as Shahjahan. In 1612 She
became Mumtaz Mahal when they quickly married. She remained a very faithful,
loyal companion to her husband, and bore him fourteen children. She received
the highest honor of the land - the royal seal - Mehr Uzaz from her emperor
husband. It is said that she gave allowances to widows and orphans. The stories
of her virtue spread all over the empire.
During the year 1630, the emperor and his pregnant empress
journeyed to what is now known as Maharashtra to suppress the Lodi empire.
Mumtaz never saw home again, she died on the eighth of June, in 1631, in the
city of Burhanpur, only one day after giving birth to another daughter.
It took her husband 22 years and most of his royal treasury,
but the queen empress did get her wish. In her name stands the most beautiful
building in the universe, that monument of love, purity and unparalleled beauty
called the Taj Mahal.

Kalpana Chawla was India's first women aeronautical engineer
to travel into space. She has been a role model to several women in terms of
achievement and contributions to the field of aeronautics. Growing up in a male
dominant society, Kalpana never let her dreams of flying be affected in any
way. In fact she was the first woman to study aeronautical engineering in her
batch. Some of her memorials are: the Kalpana Chawla Award given by the
Karnataka Government, a dormitory named after her in the University of Texas at
Arlington from where she did her Masters and a planetarium in Haryana. This
sheds light on her meritorious and outstanding achievements. Even though her
death was sudden and unfortunate, she left a mark in the nation and will be
remembered forever. Read the following sections to know more about this dynamic
personality, her career and life.
Early Life
Kalpana Chawla was born on the 1st of July, 1961 in a small
town in Karnal located in the state of Haryana. Her parents, Banarasi Lal
Chawla and Sanjyothi had two other daughters named Sunita and Deepa and a son
named Sanjay. Kalpana was the youngest in her family and hence, she was the
most pampered too.
She got educated at the Tagore Public School and later
enrolled into Punjab Engineering College to complete her Aeronautical
Engineering Degree in 1982. In the same year, she moved to the US. She got
married to Jean-Pierre Harrison in 1983. He was her flying instructor and an
aviation author.
In 1984, she completed her M.S. in Aerospace Engineering
from the University of Texas in Arlington. In 1988, she obtained a Ph.D. in the
same subject from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
Career
Kalpana Chawla was a certified flight instructor who rated
aircrafts and gilders. She also held a commercial pilot license for single and
multi-engine airplanes, hydroplanes and gliders. Kalpana was a licensed
Technician class Amateur Radio person certified by the Federal Communication
commission. Owing to her multiple degrees in Aerospace, she got a job in NASA
as the Vice President of the Overset Methods, Inc. in 1993. She was extensively
involved in computational fluid dynamics research on Vertical/Short Takeoff and
Landing. It was not until 1995 that she became a part of the NASA 'Astronaut
Corps'.
Three years later, she was selected for her first mission
i.e. to travel around the Earth in a space shuttle. This operation consisted of
six other members. Kalpana was responsible for organizing the Spartan Satellite
but she was unsuccessful in her role due to its malfunction. It was found that
due to technical errors, the satellite defied control of ground staff and
flight crew members. Following this, she was vindicated.
On the other hand, Kalpana Chawla created history for being
the first Indian woman to travel in a space shuttle. She had the privilege of
journeying as far as 10.4million km. This approximately adds up to 252 times
around the Earth's orbit that comprised of 372 hours in space.
After the Spartan Satellite incident, she was given a
technical position. Her excellent work was recognized and awarded. In 2000, she
was again assigned on her second flight mission as a part of Flight STS-107.
Kalpana's responsibility included microgravity experiments. Along with her team
members, she undertook a detailed research on advanced technology development,
astronaut health & safety, the study of Earth and space science. During the
course of this mission, there were several mishaps and cracks were detected in
the shuttle engine flow liners. This delayed the project until 2003.
Death
It was on February 1st 2003 that the space shuttle, STS-107,
collapsed over the Texas region when it re-entered the Earth's atmosphere. This
unfortunate event ended the lives of seven crew members including Kalpana.
Achievements and Accolades
Despite living in America, Kalpana Chawla was considered the
pride of India. She was the first Indian woman to travel in a space shuttle for
372 hours and complete 252 rotations around the Earth's atmosphere. Her
achievements have been an inspiration to many others in India and abroad. There
are many science institutions named after her.
During her lifetime, Kalpana Chawla was awarded with three
awards namely the Congressional Space Medal of Honor, NASA Space Flight Medal
and the NASA Distinguished Service Medal.
