NELLIE SEN GUPTA:
Date of Birth: December 1, 1886 and Date of death: October 23, 1973
Nellie Sen Guptha Indian Freedom Fighter
Nellie Sengupta was born on 12 January 1886 as the daughter of Frederick William Gray and Edith Heneriata Gray. While studying in England, she met Jatindra Mohan Sen-gupta (an Indian patriot). They fell in love and were married. After her marriage, she adopted her husband's country as her own and associated sincerely with her husband's work to liberate India from the bondage of British imperialism. Nellie abandoned the land of her birth and fought against the colonial rulers of her motherland for the sake of her husband. She was a dedicated life partner who whole-heartedly sided with her brave husband on all occasions during their hours of happiness and sorrow. There was doubt among her in-laws whether she would be able to adjust herself in a joint Indian family. But soon Nellie dispelled this doubt by adjusting quickly to the Indian joint family life. They proved to be an ideal couple not only in family life but also in the political field. Her father in law was so impressed with her behavior that he wrote a letter to Nellie's mother, that she was nothing but a prize addition to his joint family and a worthy partner of his son. Without the active help and cooperation of Nellie, Jatindra Mohan could not have risen to prominence so easily. She was the inspiring power behind all his activities in the political field.
Nellie also participated in the Non-Cooperation Movement. Her husband was imprisoned for his involvement in the Assam-Bengal strike of Railwaymen. Nellie opposed the District authorities who imposed a ban on assembly. Several mass meetings were organised by her. She also got jailed for her active participation. She was the second woman from Europe and the third woman to be elected as the president of the INC in 1931. She became the Alderman to the Calcutta Corporation in 1933 and 1936. As a representative of the Congress party, she got elected to the Bengal Legislative Assembly in 1940 and 1946. From Chittagong, East Pakistan, she worked to benefit the Hindu minority. She became member of the East Pakistan Legislative Assembly. She also got elected to the Minority Board.
