About this listen

 Rekindling the Legacy: India’s Women Freedom Fighters is a new podcast series that shines a spotlight on the extraordinary, and often overlooked, women who helped shape India’s struggle for independence. From fearless revolutionaries to tireless social reformers, these women challenged colonial power, broke social barriers, and inspired generations with their courage and conviction. Hosted by Professor Andrew Davies and Dr Juhi Gupta, the podcast series combines dynamic storytelling and historical analysis to bring these remarkable figures vividly to life.Inclusive Futures Foundation

    In this opening episode, hosts Dr Juhi Gupta and Professor Andrew Davies set the stage for the upcoming journey into the lives of the women who helped shape India’s freedom struggle. Too often, history remembers only a handful of leaders, while countless women who led protests, mobilised communities, and even took up arms remain in the shadows.

    This episode explores why their stories matter—not only to complete the historical record, but also to understand how women redefined courage, leadership, and sacrifice in their own terms. By highlighting their contributions, we uncover a richer, more inclusive narrative of independence—one that recognises the power of resilience, solidarity, and vision.
