Bhikaiji Cama - A Lifestory

The person was not a regular person; she was very strong, a passionate fighter for freedom and activist whose strong commitment to India's freedom was felt across lands. Imagine a scene from a history movie – maybe something like the strong feelings in "Gandhi" (but her story should be a movie too) – and you start to understand how great this person was. Born in 1861, she gave her life to freeing India from British rule. Many of her coworkers thought of her as a sign of hope. She bravely fought for India's cause in world meetings. An important time in her journey was in 1907 at the International Socialist Congress in Stuttgart, Germany. There, like a scene from "The Crown," but with more revolutionary feeling, she showed the first version of the Indian national flag, a threecolored symbol of freedom and not obeying. This action alone made her important in history. She lived in exile for much of her life, always pushing for India's freedom, much like the people fighting for freedom in "Argo," but with a deeper, more personal link to the cause. Her words, though not in a famous movie line, were very important, inspiring many people to join the fight. The person was more than just a name; she was the picture of bravery and strong commitment to a free India, returning to her homeland only in 1935, a few months before she died in 1936.
