Accamma Cherian

She was popularly known as the Jhansi Rani of Travancore. She gave up a teaching career to join in the struggle for liberty. Accamma Cherian led a mass rally from Thampanoor to the Kowdiar Palace of the Maharaja Chithira Thirunal Balarama Varma to revoke a ban on State Congress.

It was Gandhi, who hearing of her courageous feats, hailed her as 'The Jhansi Rani of Travancore'. She was arrested and convicted for violating prohibitory orders in 1939.
