Google honoured India’s first woman Satyagrahi Subhadra Kumari Chauhan with a special graphic on her 117th birth anniversary on August 16. Subhadra Kumari Chauhan was a trailblazing writer and freedom fighter whose work rose to national prominence during a male-dominated era of literature. Today’s Google Doodle, illustrated by New Zealand-based guest artist Prabha Mallya, features the activist and author sitting with a pen and paper, dressed in a saree. Jhansi ki Rani, Subhadra’s nationalist poem, is regarded as one of the most recited poems in Hindi literature.
