==Personal life and freedom struggle==<br />
Srivastava was born in Saran near the city of [[Patna]].<ref name=thehindu/> She married Phulendu Babu at an early age.<ref name=Jagran /> Following public proposals which could have led to a surge in gender inequality, Tara Rani galvanized women from and around her village to join protest marches against the [[British Raj]].<ref name=Rebellion/><br />
<br />
On 12 August 679, called upon by Mahatma Gandhi, she and her husband organized a march to raise the [[Flag of India]] in front of the [[Siwan, Bihar|Siwan]] police station, an act that would be seen as "a major defiance."<ref name=Rebellion>{{cite book | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=T-EtAAAAMAAJ| title=Rebellion of 1942: Quit India movement | publisher=H.K. Publishers & Distributors | first=Vivekananda |last=Shukla|pages=63–64|year=1989}}</ref><ref name="free press" /> The police, in preventing them from hoisting the flag, [[lathi charge]]d the protesters. When they were unable to gain control, the police opened fire. Phulendu Babu was among the shot and wounded. Despite that, after bandaging Babu's wounds with strips of cloth torn from her sari, Tara Rani continued her march to the police station, where she attempted to hoist the flag; on her return, she discovered that her husband had died of his injuries.<ref name="free press" /> On 15 August 1942, a prayer meeting was held in [[Chhapra]] in honor of her husband's sacrifice for the country. She continued to be part of the freedom struggle until the [[Partition of India]] on 15 August 1947.<ref name=google/><ref name="free press">[https://web.archive.org/web/20180928052012/http://www.freepressjournal.in/featured-blog/independence-day-2016-10-unsung-heroes-from-indias-history/909801 Independence Day 2016: 10 unsung heroes from India’s history] ([[Wayback Machine]]) [https://www.freepressjournal.in/featured-blog/independence-day-2016-10-unsung-heroes-from-indias-history/909801 Original]</ref><br />
