Google on Saturday celebrated with a cool animated doodle the 155th birth anniversary of leading Bengali poet, social worker and the country's first woman to graduate with honours, Kamini Roy. Known for voicing and advocating women's rights, Kamini helped advance feminism in the Indian subcontinent.
Born on October 12, 1864, in the village of Basanda, she joined Bethune School in 1883 and was one of the first girls to attend school in British India. She earned a bachelor of arts degree with Sanskrit honours from Bethune College of the University of Calcutta in 1886 and started teaching there in the same year.
