It was the worst of times. The fabric of India’s Hindu society was mired by orthodoxy, religious dogmas, caste, superstitions and evil practices. The Brahmin pundits/scholars, who also doubled up as priests, were at the helm of society. The strong presence of Firangs & Mlechchas (Europeans & non-Hindus) propelled them to adopt more stringent measures to safeguard their faith.
They began governing the rest of society, encouraging illiteracy and ignorance – with an iron hand. Women in general were oppressed and suppressed by their men folk and assigned subservient roles. In such a dismal, grim scenario, there arose an undaunted, courageous woman, who devoted herself to the upliftment and welfare of the common people. She was Rani Rashmoni who is still remembered as one of the greatest philanthropists of Bengal.
