Rani Lakshmibai was born on 19 November 1828 in Kashi. Her father’s name was Moropant Tambe. Lakshmibai’s childhood name was ‘Manikarnika’. She was affectionately addressed as ‘Manu’. Manu’s mother died in childhood. Manu’s father used to work with Peshwa Saheb of Bithur. The Peshwa saheb raised Manu like his own daughter. He named Manu ‘Chhabili’. From childhood, Manu started learning about using weapons. She became proficient in horse riding and fencing under the guidance of Nana Saheb and Tatya Tope. the year 1842, Manu got married to the King of Jhansi, Gangadhar Rao. She was 12 years old then. After marriage, she got the name ‘Lakshmibai’. she gave birth to a son. Her son lived for a few months and then passed away. After this incident, the king adopted his nephew and named him Damodar Rao. However, after the death of his first son, King Gangadhar became very sad. Due to deteriorating health, he got bedridden. After some time, the king of Jhansi died, and state management’s responsibility fell to Rani Lakshmibai, which she managed efficiently.
Rani Laxmi Bai made it clear to the Britishers that she will never surrender Jhansi to them. She took this pledge. Till her last breath, the queen fought against the British.
2. The great Mughal empire had lost much of its influence and territory by the end of the 1700s. When Zafar came to the throne in 1837, his rule extended only to Delhi and its surroundings. But for his subjects, he always remained Badshah - the King.
Like other Mughal emperors he's said to be a direct descendent of Mongol rulers such as Genghis Khan and Timur. With his death, one of the world's greatest dynasties came to an end.
The British buried him in an unmarked grave to keep his followers away. News of his death took a fortnight to reach India and almost went unnoticed.
