== Biography ==<br />
<br />
Her father was a nephew to [[Motilal Nehru]], and she was therefore [[Jawaharlal Nehru]]'s first cousin once removed. She was born and grew up in Motilal Nehru's home in [[Allahabad]]. As many others in the family, she was an active participant in India's struggle for independence. A leader in student politics during her college years, Sahgal followed her mother and sisters in brief prison terms for demonstrating against the [[British Raj]]. Between 1930 and 1935, Sahgal finished college, became a teacher and was a member of the revolutionary [[Indian National Congress]]. In 1935, she married a government [[bureaucrat]] and, she explains, had to give up politics as well as active association with her old friends. In her autobiography she describes following her husband to various posts, supervising a growing household. Sahgal joined various ladies clubs and volunteer welfare organizations: as a member of the Catering Advisory Committee for the North Eastern Railway, she investigated charges against crooked vendors at train stations. She made an unsuccessful run for public office.<ref>{{cite journal|last1=Mukta|first1=Parita|title=An Indian Freedom Fighter Recalls Her Life by Manmohini Zutshi Sahgal; Geraldine Forbes; Living in America: Poetry and Fiction by South Asian American Writers by Roshni-Rustomji Kerns|journal=International Voices|date=Spring 1998|volume=Feminist Review|issue=58|pages=112–114|jstor=1395685}}</ref><br />
