Rani Laxmi Bai  

History speaks of the courage of countless women freedom fighters, who made immense contributions during the freedom struggle. Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhani is considered the first woman revolutionary in the country. She made history by courageously fighting hundreds of British soldiers.

'Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi' is a period drama based on the life and struggles of Rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi and her war against the British East India Company, during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.

Deep Dive with Abhinav Khare explores the bravery with which Rani Laxmi Bai fought the British relentlessly, all the while with her son tied to her back. She fought till her last breath and even after she was whisked away by her troops so as to not be captured by the colonials. 

 

Actor Kangana Ranaut, who will be seen playing her on the silver screen soon, is utilizing the day to pay respect to the warrior queen.
