Captain Laxmi Sehgal known to only few

Laxmi Sehgal's name was not as popular as she was supposed to be though she was an active social worker . she fought with injustice wherever she saw injustice happening and she had served the country with every ounce of strength she had.She was an indefatigable fighter of social,political and economic emancipation.Her mother was an social activist and father was a lawyer which made her closer to the problems which india was facing which bought her forward for social causes which she did.When Subhash Chandra Bose felt that a women regiment was required in the Azad Hind Fauj then she was given the post of colonial in indian laal sena in Jhansi ki Rani regiment.She got married to Captain Prem Kumar Sehgal in March 1947 at Lahore. later she moved to Kanpur,where she started practicing as a physician.She joined communist party in later part of her life as she believed in communism.She even stood  against APJ Abdul Kalam in the year 2002 for the presidential election.She was very  sure of her defeat but she used the platform to publicly scrutinize the poverty and injustice allowed  by political system to grow.when she passed away Media claim that she was very famous but i didn't  see her popularity anywhere close to Rajesh Khanna's.When Rajesh Sahab died, all of us updated our status on FB for peace of his soul.when Laxmi ji died  i saw very few updates on FB.If Rajesh Sahab entertained the masses then she fought for thier rights.
