Cornelia Sorabji, India's First Woman Advocate

 

15 नवंबर, 1866 में महाराष्ट्र के नासिक में जन्मीं कॉर्नेलिया (Cornelia Sorabji) न केवल भारत की पहली महिला वकील हैं, बल्कि देश में व लंदन में लॉ की प्रैक्टिस करनेवाली पहली बैरिस्टर भी हैं. उन्हें देश व समाज सेवा की प्रेरणा उनकी मां से विरासत में मिली. उनकी मां फ्रांसिना फोर्ड नारी शिक्षा की प्रबल पक्षधर थीं. उन्होंने पुणे में लड़कियों की पढ़ाई के लिए कई स्कूल भी खोले. कॉर्नेलिया छह भाइयों में इकलौती बहन थीं.

* वे लेखिका व सोशल वर्कर भी थीं.
* वे बॉम्बे यूनिवर्सिटी से ग्रेजुएट होने के साथ-साथ ऑक्सफोर्ड यूनिवर्सिटी के समरविले कॉलेज से लॉ की पढ़ाई करनेवाली पहली भारतीय महिला भी थीं.
* सन् 1892 में वे लॉ की पढ़ाई के लिए विदेश गईं.
* उस ज़माने में महिलाओं को लेकर बहुत सारी पाबंदियां थीं. भारतीय महिला वकील को कोर्ट में प्रैक्टिस की अनुमति नहीं थी. ऐसे में उन्हें इसके लिए काफ़ी संघर्ष करना पड़ा.
* आख़िरकार लंबे संघर्ष के बाद 1904 में बंगाल कोर्ट में लेडी असिस्टेंट के रूप में जुड़ीं.

* 1907 में उन्हें असम, बिहार, उड़ीसा के कोर्ट में सहायक महिला एडवोकेट के पोस्ट पर काम करने को मिला.
* साल 1924 में उन्होंने कोलकाता व ब्रिटेन में भी प्रैक्टिस शुरू की.
* उन्होंने लंबी क़ानूनी लड़ाई लड़ते हुए अंततः महिलाओं को वकालत से रोकनेवाले क़ानून को कमज़ोर कर उनके लिए लॉ की प्रैक्टिस करने के रास्ते बनाएं.
* उन्होंने देश की क़रीब छह सौ महिलाओं को उनके अधिकार दिलाने में सहायता की.
* अंत में 1929 में हाई कोर्ट के सीनियर एडवोकेट के रूप में रिटायरमेंट लिया.

* उन्होंने लॉ के अलावा सोशल वर्क व कई लेख, शॉर्ट स्टोरीज़, बुक्स आदि भी लिखीं, जिनमें से उनकी ऑटोबायोग्राफी ‘इंडिया कॉलिंग’ सुर्ख़ियों में रही.
* आज उनके 151 जन्मदिवस पर गूगल ने उन्हें डूडल कर सम्मानित किया.
* 6 जुलाई, 1954 में लंदन में 88 की उम्र में उनका देहांत हुआ.
* देश में ही नहीं, बल्कि इंग्लैंड में भी कॉर्नेलिया सोराबजी को सम्मान के साथ याद किया जाता है.
