They weren’t trained for battle. They didn’t carry rifles or wear medals.
But when war struck in 1971, 300 women from Madhapar village answered a call that few would dare to.
With green sarees as camouflage and courage as their only shield, they rebuilt a bombed airstrip under the shadow of danger. Their work, completed in just 72 hours, helped India regain air power at a critical moment in the war.
Swipe to discover how these everyday women became extraordinary defenders of the nation, forever changing the meaning of bravery and patriotism.
