Corona warriors were freedom fighters
The Hindu
This couple’s marriage was consummated at Gandhi’s Sevagram Ashram
Over a century old Ravuri Arjun Rao and his wife Manorama are corona warriors who were freedom fighters from Gudiwada in Krishna district in the real sense. It is apt to discuss about them on Independence Day eve because they continue to wear nothing but khadi till today. Their marriage was consummated at Sevagram Ashram of Mahatma Gandhi near Wardha in Maharashtra on March 13, 1948, months after Gandhi’s assassination. Arjun Rao is 101 years old and Manorama, eldest daughter of well-known atheist Gora, is 93. Both of them were arrested by the British government during the Quit India movement at Vijayawada and lodged in Alipore Camp jail near Bellary.
