Answer 1

Rani Lakshmibai, famously known as ‘Jhansi Ki Rani’, was one of the leading warriors in India’s First War of Independence, which was fought in 1857. Her struggles in life started at the age of four, when her mother passed away. Thereafter she was raised solely by her father along with other soon-to-be revolutionaries and she grew to be an independent, courageous girl. When she was just twenty-four-years old, her husband, the Maharaja of Jhansi died but she didn't lose her courage and took over his responsibilities. When the British company annexed the territories of Jhansi with treachery, she revolted against them with the help of other Indian rebellion leaders. She surprised the British by showing extraordinary fighting spirit and valor in battles fought at Jhansi, then Kalpi and lastly at Gwalior. She inspired many generations of freedom fighters in India, thus becoming immortal in history. The valor and brave death she chose was an inspiration to the patriots such as Shahid Bhagat Singh and to all revolutionaries from Veer Savarkar to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose. She became a national heroine and is seen as the epitome of female bravery in India.
