  • Bhrugupur village is located in Chuda Tehsil of Surendranagar district in Gujarat.
  • Samaldas Gandhi
    • He was an Indian independence activist who headed the Aarzi Hukumat or Temporary Government of the erstwhile princely state of Junagadh.
    • He was initially part of Gujarati evening newspaper Janmabhoomi.
    • When the Nawab of Junagadh acceded his state to Pakistan in 1947, Samaldas headed a government-in-exile created by citizens of Junagadh to reflect the wishes of its majority population.
  • Purnimaben Pakwasa

    • At the age of 18, she participated in the Dandi March during which she was arrested.

    • In 2004, she was awarded the Padma Bhushan award for her services to society.
  • The Waghers inside the fort of Bet Dhwarka had no artillery to counter the attack by the British Commander of Navy in 1857.
  • The Wagher women came up with a very brave and innovative idea. They soaked the mattress with water in which they could catch the cannon balls and cool them immediately. This would enable the Wagher men to fight the battle without being hit by the cannon balls.
  • These women were the Laxmibais of Gujarat.
