Description: Between 1917 and 1947, women in the Indian subcontinent were engaged in active debates and noteworthy demonstrations for the vote, building up a national suffrage movement. In this talk Professor Sumita Mukherjee will discuss the activities of Indian suffragettes in this period, showing how they were connected with British and other international suffrage movements. She will also discuss how to contextualise the suffrage movement in India within a broader history of women's rights activism in India and the fight for independence from imperial rule.
