Talk:Fatima Sughra Begum

Year of birth
I know 1932 has been cited as the year of her birth. Certainly a teenager could tear down a flag as she is credited with doing in 1947. However:

a) This source (storyofpakistan.com) says she was born in 1904 !!!

b) '''This source (arynews.tv) states "In 1919, Sughra got married to Sir Ghulam Hussain Hidayatullah, a famous political leader in Sindh."

b) In 1938, she joined the All India Muslim League ... She soon joined the Women’s Central Subcommittee. -- AT AGE SIX????!!!!

c) In the annual session of Muslim League in December 1943, Begum was elected as President of the Women's Reception Committee. -- AT AGE 11????!!!!

d) Her husband (born 1879)'s article (infobox) cites 1940 as their year of marriage. Interestingly, there is no section for or even mention of marriage or family in the body of the article. Just one infobox parameter.

'''CONCLUSION: The woman named Fatima Sughra or Fatima Sughra Begum (born c. 1932), who died in 2017, pulled the flag down in 1947 as a teenager. But everything else in the article is credited to a different woman, Lady Hidayatullah. Someone in Pakistan's news media conflated the two women born 28 years apart.
