| Description |
Jhansi ki Rani Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi (1828 – 1858), was the queen of the princely state of Jhansi in North India (now in Jhansi district in Uttar Pradesh). She was one of the leading figures of the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and became a symbol of resistance to the British Raj for Indian nationalists. <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_of_Jhansi" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_of_Jhansi</a> Statues of Lakshmibai are seen in many places of India, which show her and her son tied to her back. The Rani of Jhansi was also depicted in a variety of colonial stereotypes in Victorian novels, which often represented her as a bloodthirsty queen responsible for the massacre of British colonials or even scandalously as a promiscuous woman in relationships with British men. These depictions had more to do with a colonial desire to denigrate the "rebel queen" than with truth. On the other side, Indian representations in novels, poetry, and film tend towards an uncomplicated valorization of Rani Lakshmibai as an individual solely devoted to the cause of Indian independence <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_of_Jhansi#Cultural_depictions_and_statues" rel="nofollow">en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rani_of_Jhansi#Cultural_depictions_...</a> 2015in02-2agr_1192 |
