In the almost 150 years since she belatedly committed herself to the revolt known as the Indian Mutiny, Lakshmi Bai, the rani of Jhansi, has been the only leader to be described in positive terms by her adversaries. True, some reviled her as a villainess, but others admired her as a warrior queen. Indian nationalists of the early 20th century were less divided in venerating her as an early symbol of resistance to British rule. The future rani was born to a prominent Brahmin family in Benares (now Varanisi) in northern India on November 19, 1827. Formally named Manikarnika, she was called “Manu” by her parents. Her mother, Bhagirathi, died when she was 4. Under the care of her father, Moropant Tambe, her education included horsemanship, fencing and shooting. In 1842 she became the second wife of Gangadhar Rao Niwalkar, the childless raja of Jhansi, a principality in Bundelkhand. Renamed Lakshmi Bai, the young rani bore one son in 1851, but he died four months later. In 1853, following a serious illness, Gangadhar Rao adopted a distant cousin named Damodar Rao as his son— similarly, Gangadhar and the brother who had preceded him on the throne were adopted heirs. The adoption papers and a will naming the 5-year-old boy as Rao’s heir and the rani as regent were presented to a Major Ellis, who was serving as an assistant political agent at Jhansi on November 20, 1853. Gangadhar Rao died the following day. Ellis forwarded the information to his superior, Major John Malcolm. Elli...

On the 190th birth anniversary of Rani Lakshmibai, the queen of Jhansi, let us remember and honour one of the bravest Indian women. ‘Rani Lakshmi Bai’ is an epitome of bravery and courage. Born to a Maratha family, all the books and history lessons have taught us she is remembered for being ferocious and brave in every sense since childhood. Who was Queen of Jhansi? Jhansi ki Rani was one of the leading figures of the Rebellion of 1857. For Indian nationalists, she became an icon for the freedom struggle against the British Raj for Indian. November 19, the birth anniversary of Rani Lakshmibai, is celebrated as Martyr's Day in Jhansi to honour the lives lost in the Rebellion of 1857. Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi was born under a different name -- Manikarnika Tambe. Interestingly, the Queen of Jhansi was not in fact born in Jhansi; she took birth in Kashi (now Varanasi). She lost her mother at the age of four and was raised in an unconventional way by her father who worked as an advisor in the court of Peshwa. Brought up in an environment that was more independent compared to others, she was educated in shooting, horsemanship, and fencing. She was called 'chabbili' by the Peshwa, which means 'playful'. The Peshwa brought her up like his own daughter. She was nicknamed Manu and was rechristened as Lakshmibai in honour of Goddess Lakshmi on her wedding day in 1834. Rani Laxmibai married her husband, Maharaja Gangadhar Rao Newalkar of Jhansi, at just 14. In 1851, she gave birth to...

In the early uprisings against the British Raj in India, a new kind of freedom fighter emerged: a rebel warrior queen who led her troops into pitched battles for independence. The rani of Jhansi was one of the leading figures in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and a symbol of resistance against the British. What’s more, she was a total badass. The rani, or Hindu queen, was born in the holy town of Varanasi sometime When she was a teenager, Manikarnika was married to Gangadhar Rao, who was the maharaja (king) of Jhansi, a small territory in northeast India. Upon her marriage, as was customary for Indian queens at the time, Manikarnika took a new name: Lakshmibai. The maharaja was 20 years her senior, and she was his second wife. She was far more active than he, and had a keen interest in horses. The rani exercised and practiced with the palace’s weapons, and even drilled and trained a regiment of women. “This may not have been quite so unusual as it appears,” A statue of Lakshmibai on horseback with sword in hand in Solapur, India. In 1853, just 11 years after his marriage to Lakshmibai, the maharaja died. On the day before his death, the childless king adopted a son in order to make him heir to the throne, since his wife, as a woman, was not entitled to that right. Up until then, the princely state of Jhansi had been independent of British India, but had maintained a pro-British stance. After the maharaja’s death, the British seized the territory and refused to recognize the ...

Rani of Jhansi. Photo courtesy: Wikimedia ​Laxmi Bai, theRani (Queen) ofJhansiand a leader during the First War of Indian Independence of 1857–58, is remembered as one of the very first women freedom fighters in India. Her intrepid life is still etched in the memory of Indians and she is an inspiration for future generations. Most people know her only for the part she played in the revolt, but her achievements highlight the fact that women are equal (if not better) rulers than men. Her legal wrangles with Lord Dalhousie and governance of Jhansi showcase her intelligence, perseverance and refusal to surrender tamely. Early Life Laxmi Bai was born Manikarnika to Bhagirathi and Moropant Tambe in 1827 or 1828. Her mother died when she was very young, and her father served as an advisor to Chimnaji Appa, brother to Peshwa (ruler) Baji Rao II, who was the last of the Maratha peshwas. Chimnaji Appa died when Manikarnika was about three and her father moved to Bithur and became a member of the court of Baji Rao. As a result of her father's position, she spent her childhood in the palace. Laxmi Bai's brithplace.
