Parul Mukherjee’s Secret Training of Bengal’s Women Revolutionaries

Parul Mukherjee was an Indian freedom fighter from Bengal.

She joined a secret group resisting British rule when she was only 14.

Her older brother was already involved in the movement.

Parul helped create a women’s branch of the group.

She taught young women about revolutionary ideas and trained them in self-defence and sword fighting.

In 1935, British police arrested her in a house where weapons and explosives were found.

She did not reveal the names of other revolutionaries.

Much of her life after the arrest was not recorded, but she died in 1990.
