Great soul Mrs Aruna Asaf Ali was born in 1909, 16th of July at Kalka into a Bengali Brahmin family and she had died on July 29th, 1996.
I am married to her Nephew (her younger brother Amarendu Gangulee's son ) Amit Gangulee.
She devoted her whole life for the betterment of her country. Her contribution in liberating Goa had tremendous impact in achieving the freedom for Goans. As a true patriot, she alluded any public adulation or public position and devoted her selfless spirit to provide her motherland with the real freedom she fought all her life for.
On a personal note I have yet to see anybody so perfect and pure in everyway.

Thank you for correcting Mrs Aruna Asaf Ali's date of Birth. Its 16th of July, 1909 and her great soul departed on 29th of July 1996. You have corrected it in your main page but search outline is still showing the wrong date you had previously put there.
Thanks.

Aruna-di was my grand-aunt (grandfather’s older sister). I called her “dadima.” I once spilled hot coffee on her, and her bodyguard jumped. I started crying and decided I’d never speak to her again. She scolded me, “Silly boy, I’m also your granny, not just a police force.” I find her strength in other women surrounding me, but I miss her.

Here is another perspective on Aruna-di, my grand-aunt on my biological father’s side. Although our family is quite distinguished in Indian history, many of the members lived very humble, reclusive, or even shallow lives. Dadima really stood out in this sense as patriotic and heroic. My grandfather’s elder brother spent his final days in the care of his family and friends, and Aruna-di played a very motherly role here. I know India misses her maternal strength, but our family misses what she did for us too.

After independence, she was elected president of Delhi Congress Committee. She worked hard to organise the congress party in Delhi. In 1958, Arunaji was elected first Mayor of Delhi Municipal Corporation. She worked efficiently for cleanliness, health and deverlopment of Delhi.
Arunaji was also associated with " Indo Soviet Cultural Society", " All India Peace Council" and " Naational Federation of Indian Women" etc. She worked hard with honesty and zeal, wherever she was posted.

It is gathered that Ms. Aruna Asaf Ali tried to convene a get-together of the RIN Mutiny, 1946 participants at Delhi. Any details about this?

ARUNA ASAF ALI WAS BORN GANGULY - A HIGH CASTE BRAHMIN BUT THAT DID NOT STAND IN THE WAY OF MARRYING A NOBLE MUSLIM FELLOW-FREEMOM FIGHTER. SUCH WAS THE LOVE OF THE MOTHERLAND OF OUR FOREFATHERS! WE SALUTE THEM ALL.
