Tara Rani Srivastava was a freedom fighter and part of Mahatma Gandhi's Quit India Movement. On 12th August 1942, called upon by Mahatma Gandhi, she and her husband Phulendu Babu organized a march to raise the Indian National Flag in front of the Siwan police station, an act that would be seen as "a major defiance." She and her husband were leading a march in Siwan towards the police station when Phulendu Babu was shot by police. Despite that, after bandaging her husband’s wounds with strips of cloth torn from her sari, Tara Rani continued her march to the police station, where she attempted to hoist the flag. On her return, she discovered that her husband had died of his injuries. On 15th August 1942, a prayer meeting was held in Chhapra in honour of her husband for his sacrifice for the country. She continued to be part of the freedom struggle until the Independence of India on 15th August 1947.
