UPSC CDS-2 – 2022
Anasuya Behn Sarabhai was a pioneer labour leader in India, notably organizing textile workers in Ahmedabad in the late 1910s and 1920s. Ushabai Dange, wife of S.A. Dange, was also active in the communist-led trade union movement in the 1920s and beyond. Sarala Devi Chaudhurani, while primarily known for her nationalist and social reform activities, also had some involvement in social and labour-related work, though perhaps less focused on organizing specific strikes in the 1920s compared to others. Prabhabati Devi, likely referring to Prabhabati Devi, wife of Jayaprakash Narayan, was a prominent figure in the Indian independence movement and social work but is not widely documented as a labour leader who specifically organized workers in strikes during the 1920s in the same context as the other options.
