Sarla Behn
Sarala Behn (born Catherine Mary Heilman; 5 April 19018 July 1982) was an English Gandhian social activist whose work in the Kumaon region of uttrakhand, India helped create awareness about the environmental destruction in the Himalayan forests of the state. She played a key role in the evolution of the Chipko Movement and influenced a number of Gandhian environmentalists in India including Chandi Prasad Bhatt, Bimala behn and Sunderlal Bahuguna. Along with Mirabehn, she is known as one of Mahatma Gandhiji's two English daughters. The two women's work in Garhwal and Kumaon, respectively, played a key role in bringing focus on issues of environmental degradation and conservation in independent India.
== Early life ==
Sarla Behn was born Catherine Mary Heilman in the Shepherd's Bush region of west London in 1901 to a father of Swiss-German extraction and an English mother. Due to his background, her father was interned during the First World War and Catherine herself suffered ostracism and was denied scholarships at school; she left early. She worked for a while as a clerk, leaving her family and home and during the 1920s came in contact with Indian students in London who introduced her to Gandhi and the freedom struggle in India. Inspired, she left England for India in January 1932, never to return again.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://freeofstate.org/?p=50 )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.jamnalalbajajfoundation.org/media/pdf/JBA_1979_Bio_Sarala_Devi.pdf )〕
