On August 22 1907, an Indian woman posed quite a challenge to the British by hoisting the first version of the #IndianFlag abroad.

This woman was Bhikaiji Cama, a prominent figure within the Indian Independence Movement.

A Thread 🧵
The flag was hoisted at the Seventh International Socialist Congress in Stuttgart, Germany as a way to create an atmosphere in support of the Independence Movement.
Bhikaiji Rustom Cama was born on September 24, 1861 to an affluent Parsi family from Bombay.

She was known to be quite altruistic having treated patients during the outbreak of the bubonic plague in Bombay in 1896.

If today's ruling dispensation somehow seized power on #15August 1947, notwithstanding its cowardly absence from the freedom struggle, what country would it have created? This thread of Golwalkar's thoughts & Organiser (RSS mouthpiece) OpEds offers clues..

The RSS was quite clear that Hindus, Hindu traditions, Hindu culture and Hindu ideas & aspirations are the sole foundation for India.

Both the RSS (again on 14/08/47) and Golwalkar (in 1966) poured contempt & scorn on the #IndianFlag adopted for the new nation. Their preference was the Bhagwa Dhwaj which apparently was a "national emblem" for "thousands of years"... Image
