Rani Lakshmibai, famously known as ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’, was one of the leading warriors in India’s First War of Independence, which was fought in 1857. Her struggles in life started at the age of four, when her mother passed away. Thereafter she was raised solely by her father along with other soon-to-be revolutionaries and she grew to be an independent, courageous girl. When she was just twenty-four-years old, her husband, the Maharaja of Jhansi died but she didn't lose her courage and took over his responsibilities. When the British company annexed the territories of Jhansi with treachery, she revolted against them with the help of other Indian rebellion leaders. She surprised the British by showing extraordinary fighting spirit and valor in battles fought at Jhansi, then Kalpi and lastly at Gwalior. She inspired many generations of freedom fighters in India, thus becoming immortal in history. The valor and brave death she chose was an inspiration to the patriots such as Shahid Bhagat Singh and to all revolutionaries from Veer Savarkar to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. She became a national heroine and is seen as the epitome of female bravery in India. Later, they adopted Anand Rao, the son of Raja Gangadhar Rao’s cousin, and renamed him Damodar Rao.

Lakshmi Bai – the Queen of Jhansi Today we pay tribute to Lakshmi Bai – the Rani (queen) of Jhansi – killed in battle on this day in 1858 by British Imperialists during India’s First War of Independence. She was twenty-two years old. The story of this freedom-fighting warrior heroine is the stuff of legend. Like Boudicca, she trained and personally led an army against occupying forces. Like Joan of Arc, she rode into battle dressed as a man. And, like the fictitious Scarlet Pimpernel, so mysterious and mythologised is the Rani that it’s difficult to identify the truth. Was she beautiful, as most accounts claim? Or was her face disfigured by smallpox? Was she a diplomatic head of state, or a ruthless and cunning rebel? Even the details of her death are uncertain. Many Western sources cite the date as 17 th June 1858, while orthodox Indian references state the 18 th. According to some versions, she died riding into battle against the British. Others say that she was shot while holding the ramparts of Gwalior Fort. Whatever the truth, the story of a female leader battling for her kingdom against the might of the British fired the Indian nationalistic imagination. During the long struggle for freedom, it was the Rani of Jhansi who served as the emblematic symbol of resistance. So how did this real-life Xena manage to lead an army in the modern era, in direct opposition to the perceived notions of nineteenth-century Indian (and worldwide) feminine decorum? In 1848, the power-hu...
