Read the case study given below and answer the question that follows:
| Sophia Duleep Singh was the daughter of Maharaja Duleep Singh -the last Sikh emperor of Punjab. Sophia was a long-time supporter of the Women's Suffrage Movement (right to vote) and a leading campaigner for changing attitudes about women's rights in Britain. However, she remains a little-known figure. In 1910, she was part of a delegation of 300 suffragettes who marched towards the Parliament in London. The Prime Minister refused to meet the women and the demonstration turned violent as policemen and men in the crowd outside the building beat them. Many of the demonstrators were seriously injured and the day came to be called Black Friday in the UK. Sophia was among the 119 women who were arrested. Sophia transcended her heritage to devote herself to battling injustice and inequality. Her main causes were the struggle for Indian Independence, the welfare of Indian soldiers in the First World War - and above all the fight for female suffrage. Princess Sophia supported Indians, particularly women, throughout her life. |
