Usha Mehta and Saraswathi Rajamani's Roles in India's Freedom Movement
During India's freedom struggle, Usha Mehta and Saraswathi Rajamani played notable roles in resistance efforts. Mehta, at 22, operated Congress Radio, a secret station broadcasting calls for the Quit India movement, evading British censorship for months. Rajamani, at 16, joined the Indian National Army as a spy, disguising herself as a boy and undertaking espionage missions. Both women demonstrated courage and commitment, with Mehta later honored with the Padma Vibhushan. Their stories highlight lesser-known contributions to India's independence.
