Madam Cama: An Unobtrusive Yet Indispensable Contributor To Indian Freedom Movement

Abstract

Indian Freedom Struggle is a phenomenon wherein so many patriots sacrificed their lives to get the Motherland free from the chains of the British Rule. So many names came to foray in the list of the warriors whereas some names always remained unsung and unnoticed, especially of those who laid the foundation for the movement both-in India and abroad. One such less known but prominent figure was Madam Cama, who not only devoted her time and energy but also sacrificed her personal and family life. Her contribution to Indian Freedom movement is unique and worthy of salute as during the last decade and the early decades of the 19th Century, women could not think of having so much courage, liberty and volition to determine the course of their lives.
