Historical and social contribution of Begum Hazrat Mahal in the war of 1857

Abstract

The male-dominated society has given the name of Abla to the natural nature of a woman's affection, affection, compassion, and kindness. But history is witness. That when the time comes, the female form of Shakti has worn a garland of hairs of male animals like Mahishasura and Chandu Mandu. To destroy Raktabeej, he assumed such a formidable form that even Mahakal himself trembled in front of his form and he too had to surrender. As seen in Indian history, there were many feminist movements. Out of which a heroine participated in the revolution of 1857 and played an important role in revolutionary activities. I am trying to throw light on the life and contribution of such a heroine "Begum Hazrat Mahal" in the revolution of 1857. Begum Hazrat Mahal was a very capable and visionary woman. He prepared women for the struggle against the British. Begum Hazrat Mahal skillfully prepared the women of Rajmahal and Lucknow to fight armed for the freedom of Awadh. Begum Hazrat Mahal formed an army of women and this "women's army" fought fiercely against the British.
