Sonia Ghan , most secularist and highly honest personality and thrown away PM post for the sake of her husband's country.
most of the members of above list merely toed the line offered by congress party at that time. The best woman would be VELU NACHIYAR- the first queen to wage a war on British in India and actually defeated them
Freedom fighter Matangini Hazra from midnapur, West Bengal. She was the daughter of a poor peasant and did not receive a formal education. She was married early and became widowed at the age of eighteen. In 1905, she became actively interested in the Indian independence movement as a Gandhian. In 1932, she took part in the Non-Cooperation Movement and was arrested for breaking the Salt Act. She was promptly released, but protested for the abolition of the tax. Arrested again, she was incarcerated for six months at Baharampur. As part of the Quit India Movement, members of the Congress planned to take over the various police stations of Midnapore district and other government offices. This was to be a step in overthrowing the British government in the district and establishing an independent Indian state. Hazra, who was 71 years at the time, led a procession of six thousand supporters, mostly women volunteers, with the purpose of taking over the Tamluk police station. When the procession reached the outskirts of the town, they were ordered to disband by the British police. As she stepped forward, Hazra was shot at repeatedly while she kept chanting Vande Mataram. The parallel Tamluk government incited open rebellion by praising her "martyrdom for her country" and was able to function for two more years, until it was disbanded in 1944, at Gandhi's request.
