Lakshmi Bai
Born 1835; died June 17, 1858. Princess (rani) of the Jhansi principality; participant in the Indian Popular Uprising of 1857–59; national heroine of India. In 1854 the Jhansi principality was annexed by British colonialists. In June 1857, when the sepoys there revolted, routed the English, and moved on Delhi, Lakshmi Bai assumed control of the principality; at the same time she announced to the colonial authorities that she considered herself in their service and would return control of the principality. However, the authorities accused Lakshmi Bai of murdering Englishmen. This forced her to defect to the rebel camp. Lakshmi Bai courageously headed the defense of Jhansi against the British army of General Rose, and then, at the head of a cavalry detachment, she heroically fought in the forces of Tantia Topi and fell fighting near Gwalior.

No references found | Arms like swords and canon balls used by Rani Lakshmibai, the Queen of princely state Jhansi, were also exhibited. But because she enjoyed writing about strong female characters, getting the opportunity to work on her latest book -- a biography of Rani Lakshmibai published by Puffin -- was just the kind of thing she looked forward to. Jaishree Misra, who has written Rani , a Raj romance- meets- historical fiction that portrays the romance between Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi and an officer of the British Army, says: " There are so many writers abroad who confidently and flamboyantly write commercial fiction or romances without being embarrassed about it, like Joanna Trollope and Danielle Steele. |
