Rani Lakshmi Bai-

Rani Lakshmi bai was also known as Jhansi ki Rani.
She was one of the greatest and first women to fight for the freedom of India. She single-handedly fought with the British army without any fear in her eyes.

At a young age, she was married to Raja Gangadhar Rao, who was the king of Jhansi. They both adopted a son, but after the tragic demise of Gangadhar Rao, the British government didn’t allow her to make her son the king of Jhansi as he was an adopted child.

Along with the consequences, the British took over Jhansi under its control.
Rani Lakshmi bai did not accept this kind of rule against her and her son. She took the armies and revolted against the British government.

She fought against all odds and during her last time, she tied her son around her chest and fought against the Britishers.

The Britishers tried their best but couldn’t catch Jhansi ki, Rani, at the end.
When she got no way further, she set herself on fire and took her own life. The fire of courage and bravery was enough to make her name into golden history.
