4. INTRODUCTION Early Life   She was born to a Maharashtra family at Kashi (now Varanasi) in the year 1828. During her childhood, she was called by the name Manikarnika. Affectionately, her family members called her Manu. At a tender age of four, she lost her mother. As a result, the responsibility of raising her fell upon her father. While pursuing studies, she also took formal training in martial arts, which included horse riding, shooting and fencing. . In the year 1842, she got married to the Maharaja of Jhansi, Raja Gangadhar Rao Niwalkar. On getting married, she was given the name Lakshmi Bai. Her wedding ceremony was held at the Ganesh temple, located in the old city of Jhansi. In the year 1851, she gave birth to a son. Unfortunately, the child did not survive more than four months.  In the year 1853, Gangadhar Rao fell sick and became very weak. So, the couple decided to adopt a child. To ensure that the British do not raise an issue over the adoption, Lakshmibai got this adoption witnessed by the local British representatives. On 21st November 1853, Maharaja Gangadhar Rao died. 

5. MAJOR STEPS TAKEN BY RANI Lakshmibai then took over the reins of government and restored law and order. She had abandoned purdah after her husband’s death and now donned male garments when she held court. She had to fend off a pretender, Sadashiv Rao Narayana as well as attacks by the neighboring states of Datia and Orccha—her first experiences of actual warfare. Sensing more trouble, Lakshmibai kept her forces battle ready and well-armed. She stayed in touch with Tantya Tope and Nana Sahib and her allies Raja Mardan Singh of Banpur and Bakhtab Ali of Shahgarh.

6. INVASION During that period, Lord Dalhousie was the Governor General of British India. The adopted child was named Damodar Rao. As per the Hindu tradition, he was their legal heir. However, the British rulers refused to accept him as the legal heir. As per the Doctrine of Lapse, Lord Dalhousie decided to seize the state of Jhansi. Rani Lakshmibai went to a British lawyer and consulted him. Thereafter, she filed an appeal for the hearing of her case in London. But, her plea was rejected. The British authorities confiscated the state jewels. Also, an order was passed asking the Rani to leave Jhansi fort and move to the Rani Mahal in Jhansi. Laxmibai was firm about protecting the state of Jhansi. 

7. THE WAR Jhansi became the focal point of uprising. Rani of Jhansi began to strengthen her position. By seeking the support of others, she formed a volunteer army. The army not just consisted of the men folk, but the women were also actively involved. Women were also given military training to fight a battle. In the revolt, Rani Lakshmibai was accompanied by her generals.  From the period between Sep-Oct 1857, Rani defended Jhansi from being invaded by the armies of the neighboring rajas of Orchha and Datia. In January 1858, the British army headed it's away towards Jhansi. The conflict went on for two weeks. Finally, the Britishers succeeded in the annexation of the city. However, Rani Laksmi Bai managed to escape along with her son, in the guise of a man.  She took refuge in Kalpi, where she met Tatya Tope, a great warrior. She died on 17thJune, during the battle for Gwalior. It is believed that, when she was lying unconscious in the battle field, a Brahmin found her and brought her to an ashram, where she died. For her immense effort, she is referred to as the 'Icon of the Indian Nationalist Movement'. Throughout the uprising, the aim of Rani was to secure the throne for her adopted son Damodar. Her story became a beacon for the upcoming generations of freedom fighters. 

8. LEADERSHIP QUALITIES  Deep Sense of Devotion and sympathy Stubborn and Rebel Trained into Various Subjects Firm and Determination  Living Inspiration for her group and others

9. Deep Sense of Devotion and sympathy: Born to Moropant and Bhagirathi Bai of Brahmin family, Jhansi Rani was initially named Manikarnika by her parents and was nicknamed as Manu. Nevertheless, the nation would forever recall her with the name Jhansi Rani . Little Manu had profound  spirituality, devotion , and reverence within her and frequently paid prayers at the Kashi temple during her childhood. Stubborn and Rebel: The early days of Manu were entirely distinct from that of a typical Indian girl. She was strong-willed and would certainly not accept no as an answer. Jhansi Rani Laxmi Bai lost her mother at very tinder age. Even under such circumstances, the child was invincible and made herself busy in activities that were within the domain of the boys. She was rebel in her doings all the time.

10. Trained into Various Subjects Manu’s father had trained her in several religious texts of Sanskrit, including  Bhagavad Geeta , in which she was verbatim. Unlike other women, she was provided with special training in fencing, firing guns, riding horses and sword fighting by her father.  Firm and Determination The then governor-general had rejected the confirmation of the legal arguments made by Lakshmibai. This news came as a heartbreaking to the Rani, however, she remained firm, determined and stated  “ Apni Jhansi nahi dungi ”. This statement professes the Rani’s affection and attachment with her empire and her people. In her; the people saw the great emperor; in them, she saw her lifeblood.

11.  Living Inspiration for her group and others: Finally, during her martyrdom, Jhansi Rani Laxmi Bai served as a living  inspiration for millions of Indians  and emerged as the mascot for Indian nationalism. Her characteristics of fearlessness, hope and courage inspired many Indians. She, due to her great work remains as one amongst all leaders, even for the succeeding generations as well. Thus, the relevance of Jhansi Rani’s legend remains undiminished in the context of modern India as she can be identified the world has ever seen.
