Study of the role of women's organization Gulabi Gang in the development of public consciousness

In Badausa, a small village in Banda district of Uttar Pradesh, a group was first formed by organizing women to liberate rural women from various types of problems. The women working in this organization used to wear pink colored sarees as their uniform. Because of this, this organization was named Gulabi Gang. Gulabi Gang fought fiercely against the atrocities, incest and ill-treatment of rural women. Within a short time this organization got fame at national and international level. Sampal Pal, who laid the foundation stone of this organization, was included in the list of 100 influential inspirational women by the international The Guardian magazine in 2011. But after some time this organization got trapped in the whirlpool of its political ambitions. Due to political ambitions this organization deviated from its original objective. Women's organization Gulabi Gang fought hard against women harassment and made a lot of headlines. The credit for providing justice to hundreds of women also goes to this organization, but due to the political ambitions of some officials of the organization, the organization started getting involved in political activities. This is the reason why this organization left aside its social responsibilities. With social issues being left behind and political ambitions dominating, the existence of women's organizations began to be questioned. In 2007, the credibility of the women's organization was tarnished in the case of taking a sub-inspector hostage in the police station premises of Antara police station in Banda district. At present this organization has been divided into five factions. However, among the five organizations of women's organization Gulabi Gang, all the organizations are claiming to solve the problems of women at their own level.
