Savitribai Phule: Her Life,...
We are all sons and daughters of Savitribai Phule, the great revolutionist of Maharashtra who gave us the gift of 'education for all'. - Devendra Fadnavis
Less than 200 years ago, when Savitribai Phule was born, life in India was very different from the way we know it today. One's rights as a human being were determined entirely by one's birth; there were different sets of rules for men and women, Brahmins and Shudras. It was simply not possible to cross the lines.
