We are obliged to Google Doodle for reminding us of the significant events throughout the year, and 3rd April is also not an exception. Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay, the famed freedom fighter and the social reformer, was born on 3rd April 1903. She had a huge contribution to the Indian Independence movement. Moreover, she pioneered the cooperative movement and worked hard for raising the socio-economic standard of the Indian women during that time.
Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay was awarded Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellowship in the year 1974. Not only that, she was also the first Indian woman to be arrested. She entered the Bombay Stock Exchange in order to sell contraband salt packets and got arrested. She was imprisoned for almost a year. Later on she went on to be the first female President of Congress Socialist Party. Her co-workers were none other than Ram Manohar, Minoo Masani, and Jayaprakash Narayan.
Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay herself wrote a number of books. Few of them were The Awakening of Indian women, Towards a National theatre, Socialism, and Society, Indian Handicrafts, Indian Women's Battle for Freedom, The Glory of Indian Handicrafts etc. Google took the priviledge to celebrate the birth anniversary with a doodle of Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay and her works.
And us Bengalis can’t be more elated!
