Story of Rani Lakshmibai | Queen of Jhansi

Rani Lakshmibai was the Queen of Jhansi who fought for independence of India during the Revolt of 1857. Her story is an inspiration for all of us. The Indian struggle against the British created heroes - both men and women, who have re-written the history of India. The Rani of Jhansi - Rani Lakshmibai - was one such hero.
From her childhood days, Rani Lakshmibai got all the teaching on martial arts, fencing, horse riding, and shooting. At the age of fourteen, she married Maharaja Gangadhar Rao, the emperor of Jhansi. Just after marriage, she got the name of Rani Lakshmibai. She gave birth to a son child in the year of 1851, whose name was Damodar Rao, but unfortunately, the child died within four months of his birth. British Government took an opportunity over the Maharaja's death, and occupied Jhansi. Rani Lakshmi Bai was displeased by this unfairness, and she pleaded in London Court. Quite naturally, since it was the rule already imposed, all her attempts proved futile. After the petitions went unaccepted by the British Government or the East India Company, war broke out in 1857. It is popularly known as the Mutiny of 1857. The revolt started at Meerut on 10th May. The revolt's original date was set on 31st May 1857, but people were already emotionally charged, restive, and impatient against the Britishers' exploitations. Hence they started the revolution way before.
The Queen of Jhansi fought with impeccable valour and courage. Dressed as a man, Rani Lakshmibai fought a fierce battle with British in Gwalior, and was martyred in combat.
"From the bards of Bundela we have heard this story.. She fought valiantly like a man, she was the Queen of Jhansi."
