January 3rd marks the birth date of one of the greatest Indian social reformers. Savitribai Phule. She played a pivotal role in improving women’s rights in India during the British rule. She founded the first women’s school in Pune, fought against discriminations towards women, untouchables and also founded a care center for pregnant rape victims during her times. Savitribai Phule is a standing beacon of light in the fight against discrimination.
Last year the Pune university was renamed to The Savitribai Phule Pune University in her honor, Namaka, Fedena 3.5.1 was a dedication to her. Let’s celebrate her life today by remembering her contributions to social reforms, thank her for her valiant efforts and contributions, and continue the fight she started for better schools and social reforms.
