On the occasion of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav, NewsBharati has come up with an initiative to celebrate India's Independence. We have tried to attempt to introduce 75 Legendary Women of India who have made immense contributions in their respective fields.
History was scripted in 1989 when India witnessed a woman to become the Judge of Supreme Court for the first time. And this history was scripted by M Fathima Beevi, who also became the first Muslim to be appointed to any of the higher judiciaries of India.
However, her tenure as the Governor of Tamil Nadu remained a controversial one due to loosened law and order situation in the state, with her sudden removal ordered by the then Union Law Minister Arun Jaitley.
