The history of India's struggle for independence is filled with stories of enormous sacrifice by its fellow countrymen. Women's involvement in the freedom struggle has been there since the beginning, but sporadically, but in most movements men played the leading roles, and women played the role after the initiative of Gandhi ji in the 2nd and 3rd centuries in the foreground of the 20th century. These traditional women fought alongside their male counterparts with exemplary courage and dedication. Nevertheless, many of them were not sung. Raja Rao's Kanthapura tells the story of these brave Indian women using fictional characters. These women in Kanthapura villages collectively represent the disadvantaged position of Indian women, one at home, and the patriarch who was trying to break the shackles that limited their role in household chores. It fought a double war, one against the Registrar and the other against Britain. The novel is told from the perspective of a woman and is narrated in the voice of an old woman, Achakka. Achakka follows the story of how the Gandhian movement brought to the village by the novel's protagonist, Moorthy, brought about great changes in the lives of marginalized women in pre-independence India. This novel explores how large-scale political movements such as non-cooperation have helped Indian women to transcend conventional boundaries to some extent, and how these women's awakenings have benefited the struggle for independence. The characters of Rangamma and Ratna are portrayed as aspiring new women who defy convention and fight a war of independence.
