Releasing a book on women stalwarts titled Penne Peraartral, former MLA and Communist Party of India (Marxist) State executive committee member K. Balabharathi suggested that the Tamil Nadu government should include books on women as part of the school curriculum. Penne Peraartral recounts the lives of 120 women – many had played a significant role in the freedom movement, while others had played an important part in the society much before Independence. Speaking at the function on Thursday, Ms. Balabharathi said that dissemination of the sacrifices and services of women during the early years of Indian independence by teachers would help the next generation of students understand various issues in a better way.More Related News
