    Assamese women played an active role in India's freedom movement through various organizations like the Assam Chatra Sanmilan and Assam Sahitya Sabha. They participated in meetings and processions, boycotted British institutions, and engaged in fundraising and spinning cloth. However, some Assamese women grew dissatisfied with Gandhi's non-violent approach and joined more extremist groups like the Mukti Sangha. While participating in the movement, Assamese women faced physical abuse, imprisonment, torture, and even mass rape at the hands of the British. Chandraprabha Saikiani was a legendary crusader who worked to promote the freedom movement.
