The correct answer is: a) Rani Gaidinliu.
Rani Gaidinliu was a Naga religious leader and freedom fighter who led an armed resistance against the British colonial rule in India. She was born in 1915 in the village of Rani Gaidinliu, Nagaland, India. She was the youngest of seven children. Her father was a village chief and her mother was a housewife.
Gaidinliu was educated at a mission school in Kohima, Nagaland. She was a bright student and excelled in her studies. However, she was also deeply religious and was drawn to the teachings of Christianity. She converted to Christianity at the age of 13.
In 1929, Gaidinliu was married to a man named Haipou Jadonang. Jadonang was a religious leader who was also opposed to British rule. He founded a religious movement called the Heraka Movement, which preached a return to traditional Naga values and a rejection of Christianity. Gaidinliu became a follower of Jadonang and joined the Heraka Movement.
In 1931, the British arrested Jadonang and charged him with sedition. He was executed in 1932. Gaidinliu took over leadership of the Heraka Movement after Jadonang’s death. She led a series of armed attacks against British troops. The British responded by launching a military campaign against the Heraka Movement. Gaidinliu was captured in 1939 and imprisoned for 14 years.
After her release from prison in 1953, Gaidinliu continued to work for Naga independence. She was a member of the Naga National Council, a political organization that was fighting for Naga independence. She also worked for the welfare of Naga women and children.
Gaidinliu died in 1993 at the age of 78. She is remembered as a national hero in Nagaland. She is also remembered as a significant figure in the early Naga nationalist movement.
