The Indian National Movement has been the topic of a wide range of scholarly studies. In most of these studies the epic struggle has been assessed too often from the national and provincial viewpoint. In this connection, role of Assamese women in Indian Independence Movement has got a stronghold in the political history of contemporary India. To a great extent, more than elsewhere in the North-Eastern region, the freedom struggle of Assam has certain unique and striking trends. The socio-economic aspects of this region underwent a significant change on the eve of the awakening of national consciousness in the country and made the region more fertile to achieve the growing seedlings of national upheaval. Hence, a series of studies have been made regarding the Independence Movement in Assam. Some studies have also been made with regard to some individual women freedom fighters. In this book an attempt has been made to study the work of some of the hitherto neglected Assamese women who had a glorious past and attained a prominent place in Indian Independence Movement. The book presents the struggle of martyr Kanaklata Barua in the context of the National Movement for Independence of Assam in a systematic manner. This is a pioneering work on this perspective of the National movement.
