Early life
Work in the movements
She worked extensively in the non-cooperation and Khilafat movements 1. She started the first khadi clothes shop, the Aligarh Khilafat Store, and with its income supported Gandhi's magazine Young India 1. She persevered in the publication of her husband's newspaper Urdu-e-Mualla in the face of British legal actions against it 1.
She condemned Gandhi for not standing up for the resolution for complete independence that her husband Hasrat Mohani had proposed 1. Later she left the Indian National Congress and continued fighting for the interests of farmers and labourers 1.
Personal life and death
Faith, as the sources attest it
The English article — the only Wikipedia edition for her in any language — makes no statement of her religion at all: her Khilafat work is recounted as movement activity, and Wikidata records no religion value for her 12. Neither her marriage nor her causes attest an affiliation, and none is inferred from her name; the museum's data record leaves her faith unknown and states the evidence, or its absence, exactly.
