freedom Fighters Who Disappeared In The Page Of History Our independence was hard fought. The British ruled over our lands for a long time.But then, there are heroes, aren't there? There are always heroes. The ones who standup and fight. Some get the spotlight while some stay in the dark and contribute just asmuch as the others. This bodes true for India's freedom fighters as well. For those whofought equally hard but never got any share of the limelight, because they simplynever cared. Their only focus was seeing an independent India. But as citizens of thiscountry, we should know about some of them. Here are some freedom fighters you probably haven’t heard of:

1 .Rani Gaidinliu was a Naga spiritualist who revolted against the British rule in India and was also strongly against converting Naga religious practitioners into Christianity. At the age of 13, she initiated the Heraka movement to drive the British away from Manipur. She got arrested at the age of 16 and was put into life imprisonment by the British. Five years later, Nehru promised to get her out and gave her the title ‘Rani’. She was released after 10 years.

2. Ke Mammen There is very little known about Ke Mammen, apart from the fact that he was a young freedom fighter back in the day, a pacifist and a Gandhian. He celebrated his 94th birthday in 2014 despite being under treatment for 6 months. A show of true grit and courage.

3. Abadi Bano Begum Born in 1852, she was one of the first few Muslim women to join the fight. Abadi Bano Begum addressed a political gathering from behind a purdah and was one of the first women to do it.

4. Parbati Giri Parbati Giri was only 16 but actively in the forefront of all freedom activities, especially the Quit India Movement. She was also imprisoned for 2 years for taking part in such activities. Giri served the public socially post independence and was also known as the Mother Teresa of Western Orissa.

5. Alluri Sitarama Raju He lead the ill fated \"Rampa Rebellion\" in 1922-1924 with the support of other local tribals. For his bravery and valour, he was nicknamed 'Manyam Veerudu' (meaning 'Hero of the Jungles').
