Unsung Heroines: The Hidden Legacy of Women Freedom Fighters

An exhibition at the India International Centre sheds light on the often-overlooked stories of women who played pivotal roles in India's struggle for independence. The event, spearheaded by archivist and filmmaker Sagari Chhabra, aims to give these unsung heroines the recognition they deserve.

Featuring rare photos, audio recordings, and testimonies, the exhibition chronicles the lives and sacrifices of female freedom fighters. It particularly highlights the experiences of women from the Indian National Army's Rani of Jhansi regiment, a group established by Subhas Chandra Bose during World War II.

The exhibition also addresses the plight of freedom fighters who have been living stateless in Myanmar. Chhabra emphasizes the importance of acknowledging and preserving these narratives for future generations. The exhibition, which is set to conclude on August 23, also includes the screening of Chhabra's documentary, 'Asli Azaadi.'
