Her name was Saraswathi Rajamani.

She was born in 1927 in Rangoon, into one of the wealthiest Indian families in Burma. Her father owned a gold mine. She grew up in a mansion, slept on golden beds, and had newspapers and a radio at a time when few people did.

When she was about ten years old, Mahatma Gandhi visited her family’s home. Seeing her practising with a gun, he asked why she needed it. She replied that she wanted to shoot the British. The answer startled him.

At sixteen, she heard Subhas Chandra Bose speak in Rangoon. He called upon Indians to give their wealth and, if necessary, their blood for India’s freedom.

She walked up and donated all her gold and diamond jewellery to the Indian National Army.

Bose was astonished when he learned both the value of the donation and the age of the girl who had made it. He renamed her Saraswathi, saying she possessed a wisdom beyond her years.

She wanted to fight.

Instead, Bose recruited her into the INA’s intelligence network.

For nearly two years, she cut her hair short, dressed as a boy called Mani, and worked inside British military camps as a servant. She carried messages, gathered intelligence, and secretly passed it to the INA.

When one of her fellow women spies was captured, Saraswathi entered the British camp disguised as a dancer, drugged the guards, and rescued her.

As they escaped, she was shot in the leg.

She survived, but walked with a limp for the rest of her life.

She called it her medal.

When the war ended, the INA was dissolved. Her family had given away nearly everything they owned in support of the freedom movement.

They returned to India with almost nothing.

The girl who had once grown up in one of Rangoon’s richest homes spent her later years in a small rented room in Chennai, surrounded by photographs of Netaji.

When the 2004 tsunami struck, she donated her freedom fighter’s pension to the relief fund.

She died in 2018.

One of the youngest spies of the Indian National Army spent her final years in quiet obscurity, remembered by few, despite giving both her wealth and her youth to India’s freedom.

Follow for stories India deserves to remember.

This is the Kalpathy Agraharam in Palakkad, a historic Tamil Brahmin settlement established around 1425 AD. Renowned for its linear row houses, it is globally celebrated for its vibrant annual chariot festival and for preserving a timeless blend of Tamil and Keralite cultures.

The initial settlement was formed when the Raja of Palakkad invited priests from Thanjavur in 1425 AD to perform daily rituals at the newly built Kalpathy temple after a conflict with the original priests. The settlement expanded significantly in the late 18th century when waves of Tamil Brahmins fled Thanjavur, fearing attacks by Tipu Sultan. The Raja of Palakkad granted them refuge and land.

The houses follow a strict, symmetrical, linear pattern, constructed directly adjacent to one another and sharing walls. The houses on either side of the road form a protective "garland" shape leading directly to the temple. Homes are typically two-storied, featuring traditional sloping, tiled roofs. Thick clay and brick walls are paired with front verandahs and open internal courtyards to reduce the radiant indoor temperature, making them highly climate-adapted.

Unlike many modernized settlements, Kalpathy is heavily protected by heritage restrictions, allowing its centuries-old layout and traditional building techniques to remain largely intact. The village has been officially recognized by the Indian government as a heritage site due to its value as a traditional vernacular settlement.

The agraharams are synonymous with Vedic chanting, Carnatic music, and the artistic drawing of rice flour kolams in front courtyards. It stands as a living museum of how Tamil Brahmin culture seamlessly integrated with the local geographical and architectural norms of Kerala. #Palakkad #heritage #settlement #travel

For anyone who isn’t aware, Kolhapuri Chappals are named after a state in Maharashtra called Kolhapur, where the artisans working there have passed on their leatherworking craft through centuries.

There’s no city or town named Kolhapur in Kashmir, and this mislabelling besides-

This Low IQ calls Pakistan as "India".

He is mocking Mohamad who urged to do Gazwa e Hind.

Based on his logic Gazwa e Hind already happened - since IsIam already conquered Pakistan (that is real India as per him) and enslaved all of them turning them into MusIims.

Based on this low IQ retard, Pakistan can be called as "Bangladesh".

India is the tree trunk.

|___Pakistan is a branch of it.

|___Bangladesh is a branch of Pakistan.

Pakistan can be hence forth called as "Bangladesh."

Thing I learnt recently:-

-Film stars openly supporting loser 'Mafi man' Rahul Gandhi, participating in his yatras is ok, it's their democratic right.

-Film stars showing respect towards the democratically elected Prime Minister of India isn't ok, it's "bigotry."

Remember When US Cut Our Access To GPS During Kargil ?

[Priti Gandhi @MrsGandhi]

The audacity is unbelievable!

Rahul Gandhi's foreign trips are routinely shrouded in secrecy. No public itinerary. No official explanation. Yet Congress expects the nation to ask no questions.

But when the Prime Minister undertakes official diplomatic visits to strengthen India's strategic, economic and global interests, Supriya Shrinate mocks and ridicules him.

The contrast couldn't be starker.

One carries the Indian Tricolour with pride and works to elevate India's standing on the world stage.

The other carries prejudice, peddles a political agenda, and too often projects a narrative that undermines India's image.

Supriya Shrinate should spend less time mocking Indian Prime Minister’s official diplomatic visits and more time explaining her shady leader's secretive foreign escapades!!

A woman at the CJP protest is saying that Muslims are very good people.

She says that it is Muslims who are feeding everyone at the CJP protest, and that Muslims are always the first to come forward and support others everywhere.

At the same time, she is criticizing Hindus, saying that Hindus promote casteism and that Hindus cannot give respect to others.

The real agenda of the CJP protest is slowly becoming clear. This is not a students' protest. This protest is using students' name as a cover to defame Hindus while portraying Muslims in a positive light.

🚨 Just look at Nasser hussain's face after Dinesh Karthik's befitting reply 👀

Nasser - Indian women are out of t20 world cup which ruins the ICC's plans as they had already decided them to play the semi final on tuesday afternoon in UK

Dinesh - Almost every WTC Final is scheduled in England. No one has a problem with it. Why don't you think ICC is siding with eng then?

Naseer - Because DK, eng has far better experience and weather to watch test cricket than India

Dinesh - Same way sir, there are far more viewers in India to watch a T20I game than eng. Reason games are scheduled in India's prime time

Nasser Hussain had no reply 😂🔥

Dr Muzaffar Ahmad. Paediatrician. Popular among parents, kind to children. Yesterday, NIA chargesheeted him as one of the prime architects of the Red Fort terror attack that killed 11. He was secretly manufacturing, testing and safekeeping TATP-based IEDs.

You can't do anything.

University of Mississippi must be sued by all Indians and banned in India for fraudulently patenting Haldi.

I would request University of Mississippi to patent water, air, fire, ether and earth next.

I just forgot about sunlight.

Such is the stupidity of these universities in USA.
