Maharani Laxmi Bai: The Queen of courage who made British government trembled with fear

The 17th day of June in 1858, when the queen of Jhansi did not back down from giving up her life for her motherland. 'I will not give my Jhansi' This sentence, spoken with indomitable gallantry, has been with us since childhood. She was born on this day, 1828, in a Marathi Brahmin family of Banaras. She was named Manikarnika and also called as Manu.

She was 4 years old when her mother passed away. Her dather Moropant worked near Tambe Bithur district under Peshwa. Peshwa raised Manu like his daughter.

Peshwa affectionately named Manu, Chhabili. Manikarnika was married to King Gangadhar Rao Navalkar, the King of Jhansi and was named Laxmibai after marriage. She gave birth to son, but the child died as soon as 4 months old. King Gangadhar adopted his cousin's child and named him Damodar Rao. Soon after the death of the king, the British made a trick and Lord Dalhousie tried to take advantage of the misfortune of Jhansi and establish the roots of the British Empire there. The British refused to consider Damodar as the heir to the King of Jhansi. Rani of Jhansi was asked to take an annual pension of Rs 60000 and vacate the fort of Jhansi.

But Rani refused to give her Jhansi, in the meantime Rani many times forced the British to flee to Maidan-e-Jung. Meanwhile, once led by the British officer Sir Hugh Rose, the British surrounded the queen from all sides and was badly injured in the war. She died on 18 June 1858, but the history of this heroine in India will always be immortal.
