​

Answer 1

Answer:

Bhima Bai Holkar (17 September 1795 – 28 November 1858), was a daughter of Yashwant Rao Holkar, Maharaja of Indore. She was the grand-daughter of queen Ahilya Bai Holkar and the elder sister of Malhar Rao Holkar III.

In 1817, Bhima Bai Holkar fought bravely against the British colonel Malcolm[who?] and defeated him in guerilla warfare. At the Battle of Mahidpur, she led a brigade of 2,500 cavalry, sword and lance in hand, against the British at Mahidpur. It is believed that her act of taking on the East India Company as a soldier inspired Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

She died at Indore, 28 November 1858.
