Tara Govind Sapre

Sapre was a member of the All India Women's Conference.^[1] She also campaigned for her brother S. G. Barve, a politician of the Indian National Congress and Member of Parliament from Bombay North East. His sudden death in 1967 necessitated a bye-election and the Bombay Pradesh Congress Committee fielded Sapre in the constituency while V. K. Krishna Menon, who finished second in the previous election stood as an Independent.^[2] Since he was from Kerala, the Shiv Sena opposed him vehemently for being an "outsider".^[3] Sapre won the seat, polling 156,313 votes against his 141,257 and became a member of the 4th Lok Sabha.^[4]

She married Govind Vithal Sapre on 25 May 1940. Together they had two sons and one daughter.^[1] She died on 14 January 1981, due a heart attack in Pune.^[5]
