Rani Gaidinliu, the historical
freedom fighter of Nagaland deserves recognition among the new generation and
this is why, Manipur chief minister Okram Ibobi Singh has righteously urged the
Centre to include her story in the NCERT text books. This Naga freedom fighter
who had fought against the britishers in the independence movement, is an icon
of Naga heroism, of women empowerment, of India’s strong will to attain freedom
from the Britishers and was an instance of surpassing the geographical differences
and feel united as an Indian to fight together with the rest of the country.
Rani Gaidinliu is history today
with the tales of her heroic deeds still written on the pages of history in
golden letters. Born in 1915, Rani Gaidinliu’s birth centenary year is being
celebrated in the North-east region lately, which has also urged people to look
back into history and recall her heroism and love of nation. On this occasion,
the Manipur CM also passed his gratefulness to the Prime Minister Narendra Modi
and the Union culture ministry for organizing celebrations to pay gratitude to
the leader who hailed from Manipur.
Born in Manipur and brought up in
Nagaland and later leading a revolt against the Britishers to drive them out of
Manipur and Nagaland, Rani Gaidinliu was the symbol of brotherhood among the
two neighbouring states, who urged people of both the states to come out and
join hands against the oppressors.
Ibobi Singh said, "Rani
Gaidinliu is an inspiration for all young Indians. She is, in particular, an
embodiment of women power which all of us must respect." The Manipur chief
minister drew Modi's attention to a recommendation to the Union HRD ministry
for the inclusion of age-appropriate texts on the life of Rani Gaidinliu in
NCERT books for Classes I to X. He said, "This will go a long way in
promoting national integration, as well as women's empowerment."
Singh further added, "Observing
the birth centenary of Rani Gaidinliu will make her contribution to the freedom
movement known to all."
