Birangana Matangini Hazra was born in Hogla village located under Tamluk police station of Midnapore district in West Bengal on 17th November 1869 to poor peasants. Her father is Thakurdas Maiti while her mother is Bhagwati Devi. Growing up as a child from a humble backgrounds denied her a chance to receive formal education.
First life
Little is known about the early life of Matangini Hazra. She had no chance of attending any school because she was too young when she tied the knot with Trilochan Hazra. At just the age of eighteen, she turned into an orphan because she lost her husband and had no children. From then onwards. She devoted all her life to social work, and whenever she got an opportunity, she would always move forward to help others out. Her belief was in non-violence according to Mahatma Gandhi’s teachings hence some people would call her Gandhi Buri. Matangini whose history is intertwined with that of the independence struggle will always be remembered for working hard deservedly and making enormous national sacrifices.
Participation in the independence movement
She started participating in the Indian movement for freedom in 1905. On December 31st 192The flag of Independencetricolors flag was hoisted at the Lahore Congress session as a symbol of independence. As a means of instilling the spirit of absolute freedom among Kenyans, the date of 26th January was suggested as Independence Day by the Executive Committee of the National Congress when they met.
On March-April 193 there began the Salt Satyagraha movement against the Salt Act. At that time it was illegal for the people of this country to collect salt from the sea The first salt-making took place in the same one. In Kanthi, Medinipur, he boiled salt at Alinan Centre but got arrested by the police. The police entered the village torching all the houses, as they started torturing them. According to the police, Matangini Hazra was not arrested but compelled instead to walk for long miles, only to be set free later on.
On 26 January 1932 after hoisting the national flag Congress workers staged a procession in Medinipur which she joined therefore becoming a member of the National Congress. For making khadi cloth he also used to cut wheels, with his hands.
Matangini teamed up with him as they opposed the imposition of the bellman toll tax on the district. A procession was staged with sounds of the governor’s return where he was arrested. At this time he was imprisoned for six months in Berhampore Jail. At the same time, he has spent several days in Hijli Prison. She was injured during a police baton charge at the Srirampur congress session in 1933 after she had been released from prison. By participating in this Valiant Women’s Non-Cooperation Movement and Quit India Movement she has carved her name with golden letters on the pages of history. At that time, Medinipur showed different parts during an agitation against the British taking place all over India.
Participate in Quit India Movement
On Harijan, Gandhiji published an article urging the British government to leave India. In this connection, the Quit India resolution was passed at the Congress leaders finally accepted Gandhiji’s proposal in this respect. The well-known Quit India resolution was approved by the Congress Working Committee on 8 August 1942.
There should be no more British rule for India’s sake as well as world security to end Nazism, fascism. Medinipur district which did not assume the character of bloody mass revolt at this time; here this had been much more virulent in Tamluk and Kanthi sub-divisions in particular. Conquest of all police stations and government offices in the Midnapore district had been planned. Following the capture of Tamluk police station, Matangini Hazra, to the tune of six thousand ardent supporters and woman volunteers, aged 73 years among them.
Last movement and death
Thousands of people invaded Tamluk from all directions on September 29, 1942, and marched on to the court together with the police station. Mother India is calling out loud!!” English leave India.
Outside the premises of courts well-equipped English army soldiers awaited them. The procession kept on moving. The procession was feared by the soldiers who began shooting.
Being a 73-year-old lady who took the lead when the injured volunteers started retreating, she held aloft that flag in moving forward. Surav Saheed Matangini Hazra and the tricolors in his hand.
It was during this time that the army fired at her holding it. However, at all times she confirmed that the flag did not touch the ground. In a bloody state, she lifted it with her other hand rising above headlong distress.
However, just a few meters ahead she caught her flag and fired. But still, the flag did not fall. He walked forward holding the flag pole in his bloody hands. The crowd behind did not go away again. They followed their leader in good order.
The great patriotism and such radiant motivation could not be accepted by the British Government. Matangini was shot in her chest. As she fell to the ground her body was lifeless but hands holding the national flag attuned to Bandemataram could only issue the sound.
