Fatima Sheikh को इतिहास में सही जगह क्यों नहीं मिली?

#DilipMandalKiPathshala Every year, on 3 January, India celebrates (or at least acknowledges) Savitribai Phule’s birth anniversary. She was the first Indian woman to become a teacher and start a school for girls. However, there was another luminary woman who stood side by side with Savitribai Phule and Jyotirao Phule. She worked in Phule’s Bhidewada school teaching girls, going from house to house encouraging families to send their girls to the school and managing the affairs of the schools. Without her contribution, the whole girls’ school project would not have taken shape. And yet, Indian history has largely relegated Fatima Sheikh to the margins. Read Dilip Mandal's full column here: https://theprint.in/opinion/why-india... This year too, Savitribai Phule trended on Twitter on her birth anniversary. Prime Minister Narendra Modi remembered her by saying: “I bow to the great Savitribai Phule on her Jayanti. Hers was a life devoted to the empowerment of the poor and marginalised.” Many of his colleagues and other political leaders joined in with their tributes. Last year, Google paid homage to her with a doodle. Despite Savitribai’s known anti-Brahminical views and writings, the RSS also bowed to her. University of Poona was renamed Savitribai Phule Pune University and the Maharashtra government has instituted awards in her name. There was even a TV series based on her life and works. Although it took one and a half centuries, Savitribai Phule is now well established in the public sphere. History is giving her due credit. Fatima Sheikh, however, is so unknown that even her date of birth is debated. Many argue that today, 9 January, is her birth anniversary. Then why is nobody celebrating her? Dilip Mandal in conversation with Anita Bharti talks about the importance of Fatima Sheikh in the India history.
