Queen Lakshmibai of of Jhansi was an unconventional queen. She
could read and write; she rode a horse and wielded a sword; she
trained other women to ride and fight alongside her. When the East
India Trading Company, who ruled India in the 19th century,
demanded that she hand over control of Jhansi, she refused. And
when an uprising began to stir in 1857, and the British laid siege
to her fortress, the warrior queen tied her infant son to her back,
mounted her favourite horse, and escaped to raise an army. This is
the story of a woman who defied all conventions to become an icon
of resistance in colonial-era India
