Some observers felt that the confession of Fatima Sheikh, although it was too late, by a ministerial minister could persuade other non-BJP countries to ensure their similar recognition.
“It is very commendable that Savitribai and Fatima Sheikh have been recognized together.

It was at Sheikh’s house that the first school for girls began.
Both Jyotirao and Savitribai recognize Fatima Sheikh services in the educational causes of girls.
In the letters written by Savitribai to her husband from ‘Maika’ (parents’ house), 50 km from Pune, he said that he could not do his job without Fatima Sheikh’s support.
