Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay


Kamaladevi Chattopadhyay was an Indian social reformer and freedom fighter. She is most remembered for her contribution to the Indian independence movement for being the driving force behind the renaissance of Indian handicrafts, handlooms, and theatre in independent India and for upliftment of the socioeconomic standard of Indian women by pioneering the cooperative movement.

Finally when she was twenty years old, Kamaladevi married Harindranath Chattopadhyay, much to the opposition of the orthodox society of the times, which was still heavily against widow marriage. Their only son Rama was born in the following year. Harin and Kamaladevi stayed together to pursue common dreams, which wouldnt have been possible otherwise, and in spite of many difficulties, they were able to work together, to produce plays and skits.
