Rani Gidinlieu was born in 1915 in the state of Manipur in a tribal family . Her father belonged
to a Naga priest family, Manipur is in the north-eastern part of India. In her name 'Gi' means 'good '
and 'lieu' means path'. Her name therefore means 'one who show good path'. She lived up to her
name throughout her life-she followed a good path herself and showed people the good path.
Gidinlieu studied in a Christian missionary school. She saw that the British rulers treated the people of Nagaland very badly and was very angry. But she realized that she could not do anything alone. She learnt about Gandhiji's non-violent methods which created an awakening in the people
against the British rule. She decided to follow the same methods to arouse the people of her state.
She educated the people about their rights and duties and about what the country means for them.
Thus she successfully instilled the love for the country and sense of freedom among the people of Nagaland, Manipur and other neighbouring north-eastern states. At the same time she had a strong
desire to improve the conditions of the tribal people in that area.
