    Which woman freedom fighter went to jail 12 times from Sindhi community during the freedom movement?

    Question #96070. Asked by armindasantana. (May 26 08 2:45 PM)

    		The following site doesn't say how many times each woman went to jail, but I thought it a good one to list because it shows that there were numerous Indian women who were arrested and went to jail for the cause of freedom. These include Gandhi's own wife and Indira Gandi.

    There was also an incident in South Africa in 1913, where among others Kasturba Gandhi (Gandhi's wife) was arrested for protesting against the conditions for the Indian workers in South Africa. But I guess you are asking about somethin that that happened in Sindh, India?

    One of the female leaders of the Quit India Movement was Sarojini Naidu. She was jailed, but I'm not sure if she was jailed 12 times.
