Rani Lakshmibai Monarch
Lakshmibai About this sound pronunciation (19 November 1828 – 17 June 1858; commonly known in English as the Rani of Jhansi, and in Hindi as Jhansi ki Rani) was the rani (queen) of the Maratha-ruled Jhansi State, 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.
