'''Gurubari Meher''' was killed in fighting against a raja in India as part of the struggle to end British rule. Except for a small mention of her participation in the [[Praja Mandal Movement]], very little is known about her. On 28 January 1947, a few months before [[India]] became independent, the then (princely) state government of [[Sonepur, Orissa|Sonepur]] let loose a reign of terror at [[Binika]]. The people rose in revolt against the king for his pro-British stance. Nearly 20,000 freedom fighters, led by Gurubari Meher, organized a mass movement against the king. Police resorted to baton charge and subsequently the woman leader of the movement was shot dead by the police. A news item had been published in 'Dainik Asha' from [[Sambalpur]] with the headline 'Victory For the People Of Sonepur' which remains as the sole witness to her contribution.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-04-15/bhubaneswar/29421084_1_freedom-fighters-freedom-struggle-woman-leader |title=Archived copy |website=articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com |access-date=17 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121105054222/http://articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com/2011-04-15/bhubaneswar/29421084_1_freedom-fighters-freedom-struggle-woman-leader |archive-date=5 November 2012 |url-status=dead}}</ref><br />
