Twenty-five years since the death of Sister Rani Maria, the first woman martyr in India This is the third feast day after Rani Maria has been crowned. She was ordained to be ordained by the Franciscan Clarist Congregation (FCC) in Indore on February 25, 1995, while she was a councilor in charge of social work in Bhopal’s Amala province in Madhya Pradesh.
The services of Sister Rani Maria, who was a voice for the needy in the society and provided social education and self-sufficiency to the common man, was disturbing the landlords. Angered by this, landlords in the area hired a hired assassin named Samander Singh to kill Sister Rani Maria. Rani Maria was killed when a bus was traveling from Udaipur to Indore in Madhya Pradesh.

Assassin Samander Singh came with full eyes to participate in the proclamation of Rani Maria’s blessed status.
