Ujjwala Majumdar (21 November 1914 – 25 April 1992) was an Indian revolutionary, far-left leader, and social activist.
Ujjwala Majumdar was born in Dhaka, in what is now Bangladesh. Her father, Suresh Chandra Majumdar, was involved with Bengali revolutionaries. When she was 14 years old, Majumdar helped her father transport firearms from Calcutta by carrying them around her waist and delivering them to the revolutionary activists. She was mentored by Bengali activists like Sukumar Ghosh and Manoranjan Banerjee. As her schooling had started very late, Majumdar passed matriculation at the age of 20.[1]
Organization memberships
Majumdar joined the Bengal Volunteers at an early age. She later joined another pro-independence institution called Adipali Sangh, and another organization, Yugantar Dal, which strove for independence. She later became a leader of the Forward Bloc core team.[1]
