This Day in The History | Sucheta Kriplani: Trailblazer in Indian Politics and First Woman CM
Sucheta Kriplani, born on June 25, 1908, in Ambala, Haryana, was a pioneering Indian politician. She became the first woman Chief Minister of an Indian state, serving Uttar Pradesh from 1963. At 28, she married J.B. Kriplani, a prominent leader of the Indian National Congress, which spurred her own political career. In 1940, she founded the All India Women's Congress, and in 1942, her activism in the Quit India Movement led to a one-year imprisonment. By 1946, she was elected to the Constituent Assembly, and in 1949, she represented India at the United Nations General Assembly. Post-independence, Kriplani parted ways with the Congress Party, forming the Kisan Mazdoor Praja Party. She won a parliamentary seat from New Delhi. Sucheta Kriplani passed away on December 1, 1974, in New Delhi, leaving behind a legacy of political firsts and significant contributions to Indian politics.
