Rani Lakshmibai

Rani Lakshmibai

Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi pronunciation (19 November 1828 – 18 June 1858) (Marathi- झाशीची राणी लक्ष्मीबाई) was the queen of the Maratha-ruled princely state of Jhansi, situated in the north-central part of India. She was one of the leading figures of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and for Indian nationalists a symbol of resistance to the rule of the British East India Company in the subcontinent.
