Um þessa rafbók
Gaidinliu was a Naga spiritual and political leader who led a revolt against British rule in India. At the age of 13; she joined the Heraka religious movement of her cousin Haipou Jadonang. The movement later turned into a political movement seeking to drive out the British from Manipur and the surrounding Naga areas. Within the Heraka cult; she came to be considered an incarnation of the goddess Cherachamdinliu. Gaidinliu was arrested in 1932 at the age of 16; and was sentenced to life imprisonment by the British rulers. Jawaharlal Nehru met her at Shillong Jail in 1937; and promised to pursue her release. Nehru gave her the title of "Rani" ("Queen"); and she gained local popularity as Rani Gaidinliu. She was released in 1947 after India's independence; and continued to work for the upliftment of her people. An advocate of the ancestral Naga religious practices; she staunchly resisted the conversion of Nagas to Christianity. She was honoured as a freedom fighter and was awarded a Padma Bhushan by the Government of India. In 1991; Gaidinliu returned to her birthplace Longkao; where she died on 17 February 1993 at the age of 78.
