Rani lakshmi bai picture

Rani Lakshmibai – the very name conjures up the image of a valiant queen, galloping on a horse in the midst of a battlefield, fighting ferociously with her infant son strapped to her back. History textbooks are inundated with gleaming mentions of Jhansi ki Rani, who is celebrated till date as the foremost example of female heroism in the country. Time and again, Jhansi’s queen has reincarnated in popular culture – from poems, songs, films, serials, ballads, books – as a tribute to her valour and courage, with Radha Krishna Jagarlamudi’s Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi, starring Kangana Ranaut in the titular role , next in line. But even before this film could liven up the celluloid, it finds itself in the line of fire of a caste-based outfit – joining the league of the recently released Padmaavat. In the light of the current controversy, The Quint attempts to revisit history to lift the lid on Rani Lakshmibai, her life and her relentless defiance of the British forces. Rani Lakshmibai was born as Manikarnika Tambe in Varanasi in 1828 to Maharashtrian Brahmins parents. She lost her mother at the tender age of four and was raised by her father who worked in the court of the Peshwa in Bithoor. It is said that the Peshwa grew fond of her and took a keen interest in her upbringing. Manikarnika’s childhood was way ahead of her times. She grew up with Nana Sahib and Tatya Tope, was educated at home and was also imparted training in horsemanship, fencing, shooting – something wom...

In the years that followed the tragic loss of her three-month-old son in 1851 and her husband in 1853, Lakshmi Bai took charge and came into her own. She managed the estate for four years, keeping up continuous negotiations with British officials for the rights of the adopted son of Gangadhar Rao to the throne of Jhansi. Within three weeks of her husband’s passing, Lakshmi Bai sent what was the first of a series of letters to the British government, arguing cogently and coherently the grounds on which the claim of their son, Anand Rao, was both fair and legitimate. Asked to leave the fort, she moved to the town palace from where she ruled from 1853 to 1858. It was her meetings with the British officials to plead the case of her son that were the most dramatic, both for the manner in which they were choreographed and the effect she had. John Lang, the barrister and journalist selected for the job, was given a lavish welcome in Jhansi.

By accident of design, the purdah moved, and Lang came face to face with the dazzling presence of Lakshmi Bai. She had a similar effect on the senior agent of the governor general, Robert Hamilton, who had turned down Ellis. Lakshmi Bai’s grit an...
