Childhood and school: She spent her childhood in her village Doisingari. She had a sister named Rajaniprabha. Those days girls were not allowed to go school, only boys could go to school. Chandraprabha and her sister were so eager to study. So they had broken all the rules and went to school many kilometers away from their home with great effort. Not only that, after school, Chandraprabha and her sister gathered other girls of her village and started teaching them.

Life’s work: From her childhood she introduced herself as a social reformer as she taught the girls of her own village. Her efforts greatly impressed school sub inspector of her area and her sister were awarded a scholarship to study in Nagaon Mission School. But in those days girls weren’t admitted into the hostel unless they converted to Christianity. She vehemently opposed this and the school authorities were compelled to allow girls of all religions to avail the hostel facilities.

Lack of school education is not only the single problem but also many problems girls faced in those days. Another custom was prevailing that time was that the girls had to sit behind a bamboo screen in public meetings. Chandraprabha was against that kind of custom. She protested it publicly. In 1925 the Assam Sahitya Sabha session was held at Nagaon district, she delivered a powerful speech and demanded the removal of the bamboo screen that was placed between men and women. The next year, at her initiative, the first women’s organisation, ‘Assam Pradeshik Mahila Samiti’ was formed.

Chandraprabha Saikiani was greatly affected by the deep rooted caste system in India. In her own state, Assam, she took matters into her own hands.

    In 1921, she met Mahatma Gandhi and she was inspired to join the freedom movement. She spread the message of Khadi, boycott of foreign clothes, removal of untouchability, banning of opium and other social evils. From 1930 onwards she immersed herself in the freedom movement. She was imprisoned thrice, in 1931, 1942 and in 1943. Nothing could dampen her indomitable patriotic spirit. Whenever she saw any injustice, her rebellious spirit rose to the occasion. She had written many books in support of women’s rights and equal social status in society.
