  • Abstract:
  • The Present Paper is confined to the Role of Women in Freedom Movement with reference to South Coastal Andhra Districts of undivided Krishna, Guntur, and Nellore during the years from 1885 and 1947. Hundreds of women participated in the Indian National Movement in different stages. The First War of Indian Independence of 1857 had negligible impact on Andhra. Parlakimidi land movement under the leadership of Dandasena was an isolated movement, which was successfully suppressed by the British under the leadership of Captain Wilson. Another movement was led by Koraturu Village Munsif Korukonda Subba Reddy in Godavari district. Some Arab and Rohillas from the native state of Nizam raided the nearby districts of Krishna, Kurnool and Kadapa. Taluk Khajana at Jaggaiahpet and Rudravaram of Koilkuntla Taluk experienced the raids. As the outbreak of 1857 was very active in and around Delhi, the British in Andhra took suppressive measures on such outbreaks. Former ruling families of Andhra Area did not take any measures to use the existing unrest. So, the Andhra area was peaceful and obedient to the British rule. The Nizam of Hyderabad was friendly with the British during the 1857 movement. But there were anti British out-rage like that of Turrabaz Khan, the Rohilla leader.
