Explanation: The most fearless and bold woman leader of the peasant movement who sacrificed her life to protect peasants’ rights is Veera Gunnamma.
Veera Gunnamma was a prominent leader in the Telangana peasant movement, also known as the Telangana Rebellion or Telangana Armed Struggle, which took place in the princely state of Hyderabad (now part of Telangana, India) during the late 1940s. She played a significant role in organizing and mobilizing peasants against oppressive feudal landlords and the exploitative system prevalent at the time.
Veera Gunnamma fearlessly led the struggle, championing the rights of the peasants and fighting for their land and economic justice. She actively participated in protests, mobilized women, and encouraged them to join the movement. She became an inspiration for many and was known for her courage and unwavering commitment to the cause.
Unfortunately, Veera Gunnamma lost her life while protecting the peasants’ rights. Her sacrifice and bravery have made her a symbol of resistance and empowerment for the oppressed and marginalized communities in the region.
