Haipou Jadonang

Popularly revered as 'Rani', Gaidinliu was a political and spiritual leader of the Zeliangrong people of the Northeast. She led the revolt against the British rule at a young age of 13 and was imprisoned for 14 years.

The contributions of personalities from the Northeast are often left out when we speak about Independence Day. In our own way, let us right this oversight this time.

A man who built an army of 500 to take on the British, Haipou Jadonang has been largely overlooked by writers and historians. It's time this changed. #ForgottenHeroes #IndianIndependence
