1942: Usha Mehta’s Radio Rebellion | A Century of Stories | India | #59 

Welcome back to ‪@ACenturyOfStories‬ presented by ‪@idfcfirstbanksocial‬!
As we come up on #GandhiJayanti this week, Kunal tells the story of Usha Mehta - a prominent Gandhian freedom fighter known for her pivotal role in India’s independence movement. She is best remembered for organising the secret underground radio station that broadcasted uncensored news and messages of resistance against British colonial rule during the Quit India Movement in 1942. Inspired by Mahatma Gandhi’s principles of non-violence and civil disobedience, Usha Mehta’s courageous efforts helped sustain the spirit of the struggle for freedom. Even after independence, she remained an advocate for Gandhian values, continuing her work as a social activist and educator.
