I hope every girl in India turns out to be like Lokmata Ahilyabai Holkar: Mimi Majumder
May 22, 2025
The ‘Philosopher Queen of Lokmata’ Ahilyabai Holkar was a warrior par excellence, a leader who led her Army to several battles through sheer grit and determination and broke social and cultural dogmas at will. Ahilyabai was a lokmata, she was a karmyogini and rajyogini. Always leading from the front, she proved it beyond doubt that she was a great manager, a compassionate ruler who lead the movement for change in the society and opened new vistas for women’s empowerment. She remains as eternal inspiration. I hope and pray that every girl in India turns out to be like Ahilyabai who had dedicated her entire life to her country, said Tripura Pradesh Mahila Morcha President Mimi President.
Mimi Majumder made the remarks at a ceremony that marked the queen of Indore’s 300th birth anniversary in Hrishyamukh.
Celebrating her as an enduring symbol of Nari Shakti, Mimi Majumder highlighted her dharma-aligned, people-centric administration and trail-blazing work in social justice and women’s empowerment. She promoted the sari industry in Mahishmati to foster women’s self-reliance, encouraged widow remarriage, and moved to end child marriage measures that remain exemplary today. Let us take inspiration from Lokmata Ahilyabai’s life and commit ourselves wholeheartedly to restoring India’s timeless splendour and the vitality of Sanatan culture, she added.
