Born as Manikarnika in Varanasi, she became the indomitable Rani of Jhansi! Married young, she lost her husband early and faced the British imposition of the Doctrine of Lapse, denying her adopted son’s right to the throne. But she refused to yield. With a spirit forged in resilience, she declared, ‘I shall not surrender my Jhansi,’ vowing to protect her kingdom at all costs. In battle, she rode with her young son strapped to her back, leading her people with unmatched courage. At just 29, she gave her life for Jhansi’s freedom, becoming an enduring symbol of India’s fight for independence. On her birth anniversary, we honour Rani Lakshmibai — a symbol of unmatched courage and sacrifice. Her fearless spirit remains etched in history, reminding us that one person's bravery can shape the destiny of a nation. ——————————- For free UPSC resources https://t.me/addlist/yApUKPNXKVljNDk1
