Do you know?
Savitri Bai Phule used to take two saris to go to a school built by the girl herself; some people threw cow dung on them. Brahmins who threw cow dung believed that Shudra-Atishudro did not have the right to read. The saris that came out of the house were filled with a foul smell.
After reaching school she would wear another sari, and then start teaching the girls. The incident took place around 1 January 1848, the same day Savitri Bai Phule opened a school for girls in Bhidewadi, Pune city.
Today is her birthday, on this day all women and men of India should apply the same vaccine in her honor, because this woman has freed not only women but also men from their inertia and stupidity.
In 1848, Savitri Bai alone stood as a wall for crores of women. Meet your husband Jyetiba Phule and Sagunabai and go through their biography with pride. Savitri Bai’s picture should be in every school whether it is government or private. There has not been such a woman in the history of the world. The Brahminism who threw cow dung at them, threatened her father so much by reading her husband Jyoti Ba that the father drove the son out of the house. That Savitri Bai saved the life of a Brahmin when a woman became pregnant with him. The villagers were killing both. Savitri reached Bai and saved both.
Savitri Bai did not open the first school, did not become the first teacher, but women in India will no longer look like they have come, its first living wake became the original charter. They gave birth to dead and killed women of India. The men thief society used to leave Pune’s widows pregnant and commit suicide. The example of what Savitri Bai has done for such pregnant widows is hardly in the world. “In 1892, as Mahila Seva Mandal, she created the first women’s organization in the country for the economic development of widowed women of Pune. In this organization every 15 days, Savitribai herself would discuss with all the poor Dalit and widow women, listen to their problems and also suggest a solution to overcome it. ” I have taken this part from Sujata Paramita’s article in the Forward Press. Sujatha has written the biography of Savitribai Phule in detail. If you are a teacher and listen to it then read it in the class room. Read this part out loud.
The Phule couple set up a child homicide ban in the house of their neighbor friend and movement partner Usman Sheikh on 28 January 1853. Whose responsibility was taken care of by Savitribai, involving all the destitute pregnant women there without any question, raising their maternity and raising the children for which the cradle house was also built there. This problem could be gauged by the fact that in just 4 years more than 100 widowed women gave birth to children in this house. ”
Savitribai and her husband Jyotiba put such a solid foundation of feminist thinking that is constantly evolving and articulating in the world. Both did not go to Oxford. Rather, he identified the evil practices, opposed them and offered solutions. I have not written anything new. I has presented what have been wrote. Rather short written. It is written so that we do not miss Savitribai Phule just for postage stamps. To remember how poor and unkind the society at that time was, in that superstitious society, there was also a rational and compassionate woman named Savitri Bai Phule. “
