13 August - Bhikaji Cama death anniversary

 


Bhikaji Cama, a prominent Indian freedom fighter and a pioneering figure in the Indian independence movement, passed away on August 13, 1936. Bhikaji Cama is best remembered for her contributions to India's struggle for independence and her efforts to raise awareness about the cause on the international stage.

She is perhaps most famously known for designing the first version of the Indian national flag in 1907, which came to be known as the "Bhikaji Cama flag" or the "Cama flag." This flag, featuring green, saffron, and red stripes along with symbols representing different communities, was intended to symbolize India's fight for freedom and unity among its diverse population.

Bhikaji Cama was a prominent member of the Indian National Congress and played an active role in several revolutionary organizations, both in India and abroad. She used her time in Europe to network with other freedom fighters, gain international support for the Indian cause, and lobby for India's independence on the global stage.

Her contributions to the freedom struggle, dedication to the cause, and pioneering efforts in raising India's voice on the international platform make her an important and inspirational figure in India's history.
