Kamaladevi Chattopadhyaya: Portrait of a Rebel
Shrimati Kamaladevi Chattopadhyaya has blazed the trail in a number of fields such as theatre, cooperation and handicrafts. Women’s liberation enthusiasts today would be hard put to find a cause which she had not championed years ago. Hard work and dedication to chosen causes have been her hallmark. She has fought for what she considered right, refusing to allow herself to be fitted into any mould or to compromise her beliefs to please anyone. Dubbed the “supremely romantic figure†of the freedom struggle, she defied the British Government both in India and abroad, winning many spectacular victories. The honours she refused-governorship, ambassadorship and vice-presidential nomination-would make any politicians, mouth water and her journalistic achievements have been of an order to satisfy the most demanding editor. A truly remarkable personality who, perhaps, more than any man in India deserves the label—“a Renaissance man†.

Indian Women's Battle for Freedom

Dalit Women Speak Out
“Women always face violence from men. Equality is only preached, but not put into practice. Dalit women face more violence every day, and they will continue to do so until society changes and accepts them as equals.” — Bharati from Andra Pradesh The right to equality regardless of gender and caste is a fundamental right in India. However, the Indian government has acknowledged that institutional forces arraigned against this right are powerful and shape people’s mindsets to accept pervasive gender and caste inequality. This is no more apparent than when one visits Dalit women living in their caste-segregated localities. Vulnerably positioned at the bottom of India’s gender, caste a...

A Passionate Life
Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay (1903-1988) was a remarkable woman of many passions and gifts. She played an important role in the struggle for Indian independence and was similarly a key figure in the international socialist feminist movement. She was India’s ambassador to Asia and Africa, an articulate and unflinching exponent of the idea of decolonization, and one of the earliest advocates of the idea of the global South. A staunch champion of women’s rights, she held views on women’s equality that continue to resonate in our times. Greatly disheartened by the partition of India in 1947, Kamaladevi became involved in the resettlement of refugees and appeared to withdraw from political life...
