I am not talking about the fanatic suicide bombers who are creating chaos in the name of their religion.
I am talking about a patriotic lady called Kuyili lived in pre independent India.
Kuyili was born in 18th century in Tamilnadu. She was an army commander of Queen Velu Nachiyar.
Kuyili was a devout commander of Velu Nachiyar and saved her life on many occasions.
Kuyili was known for her suicide attack in 1780 on a Fort of British East India Company.
When East India Company was planning to attack the kingdom of Queen Velu Nachiyar, they made a plan.
Kuyili applied ghee on her body and set herself ablaze.
The way she was running towards the armoury of East India Company, everyone thought her as fire ghost.
Later she jumped into the armoury and set everything to fire stored there. Thus she destroyed each and every single weapon.
She is considered the first woman suicide bomber and also the first woman martyr in the Indian history.
