Abstract	This paper explores the connection between Sikh teachings on gender equality and the active participation of Punjabi women in India’s freedom Movement. Sikhism, with its strong emphasis on equality, dignity and social responsibility, created a cultural foundation that encouraged women to participate in public life. Building on this foundation, Punjabi women played an important role in nationalist Movements such as the Non-Cooperation Movement, Civil Disobedience Movement and Quit India Movement. They engaged in protests, awareness campaigns, social reform, and post-independence rehabilitation work. This study highlights selected women from Punjab whose contributions reflect courage, leadership and dedication to national service.
Keywords	Sikhism, Gender Equality, Nationalist Movements, Punjabi Women, Indian Freedom Struggle, Social Reform, Leadership, Rehabilitation, Punjab.
