Views : 60910
Rani Lakshmi Bai was the queen of the princely state of Jhansi, which is located on the northern side of India. She was one of the most leading personalities of the first war of India's independence that started in 1857. In this article, we will present you with the biography of Rani Lakshmi Bai, who was an epitome of bravery and courage.
She was born to a Maharashtrian family at Kashi (now Varanasi) in the year 18 November 1835. 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. To know the complete life history of Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi, read on.
In the year 1842, she got married to the Maharaja of Jhansi, Raja Gangadhar Rao Newalkar. 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.
'Meri Jhansi Nahin Doongi'
On 7th March 1854, the British issued a gazette dissolving the State of Jhansi. Rani Lakshmibai was enraged due to the injustice when an English officer, Major Ellis came to meet Lakshmibai. He read out the official declaration dissolving the State. The furious Rani Lakshmibai told Ellis ‘‘Meri Jhansi Nahin Doongi (I shall not part with my Jhansi)’ when he sought her permission to leave. Ellis heard her and left. Battle of 1857 The battle for freedom that started from January 1857 engulfed even Meerut on 10th May.
Along with Meerut, Delhi and Bareilly, Jhansi also was freed from the British rule. Three years after Jhansi was freed, Rani Lakshmibai took over the control of Jhansi and she made preparations to defend Jhansi from the likely attack by the British. Sir Hugh Rose was appointed by the British to capture Rani Lakshmibai, alive. On 20th March 1858, Sir Huge encamped with his army 3 miles away from Jhansi and sent a message to her that she should surrender; but rather than surrendering, she stood on the rampart of her fort motivating her army to fight with the British. The battle started. Jhansi canons started routing the British. Even after 3 days of continuous firing, the fort of Jhansi could not be attacked; therefore, Sir Hugh decided to adopt the path of treachery. Finally, on 3rd April, the army of Sir Hugh Rose entered Jhansi.
The soldiers started looting people. Rani Lakshmibai decided to join Peshava by breaking the bloc of the enemy. In the night, with her troupe of trusted 200 cavalry, she tied her 12 year old son Damodar to her back and raising the slogan of ‘Jai Shankar’ left her fort. She penetrated the British bloc and rode towards Kalpi. Her father Moropant was with her. While breaking the faction of the British army, her father got injured, was captured by the British and was hanged.
Fight of Kalpi
After riding continuously for 24 hours covering a distance of 102 miles, the Rani reached Kalpi. Peshava judged the situation and decided to help her. He provided his squads of army to her as per her requested requirement. On 22nd May, Sir Hugh Rose attacked Kalpi. Rani Lakshmibai rushed to the front like lightening whilst holding her sword. Her forceful attack resulted in a setback for the British army. Sir Hugh Rose disturbed with this setback brought his reserved camel troops onto the battlefield. The fresh reinforcement of the army affected the ardour of the revolutionaries and Kalpi was taken over by the British on 24th May. Defeated Raosaheb Peshave, Nawab of Banda, Tatya Tope, Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi and all the chieftains gathered at Gopalpur. Laksmibai suggested taking over Gwalior. Shinde, the Ruler of Gwalior, was pro-British. Rani Lakshmibai won over Gwalior and handed it over to Peshava.
Sacrifice of life on the altar of freedom
Sir Hugh Rose had heard about the defeat of Gwalior by Rani Lakshmibai. He realized that the situation could go out of control if time was wasted; therefore, he marched towards Gwalior. Lakshmibai and Peshva decided to fight the British as Sir Hugh Rose touched Gwalior. Lakshmibai took it upon herself to safeguard the East side of Gwalior. The unprecedented valour of Laksmibai inspired her army; even her maids attired in men’s uniform took to the battlefield. The bravery of Lakshmibai, resulted in the retreat of the British army.
On 18th June, the British attacked Gwalior from all sides. She decided to break the enemy front and go out rather than surrendering. While breaking the military front, she came across a garden. She was not riding her ‘Rajratan’ horse. The new horse started going round and round near a canal instead of jumping and crossing it. Rani Lakshmibai realized the consequences and turned back to attack the British army. She got injured, started bleeding and fell from her horse. Being in a man’s costume, the soldiers did not recognize her and left her there. The faithful servants of Rani took her to a nearby Gangadas Mutt and gave her Gangajal. She expressed her last wish that her body should not be touched by any British men and embraced a brave death. The revolutionaries all over the world, the organization of Sardar Bhagat Singh and in the end even the army of Netaji Subhashchandra Bose were inspired by the valour shown by Rani Lakshmibai. The Queen of Jhansi breathed her last at the young age of 23 years.
She inspired many generations of Hindustani’s, thus becoming immortal in the freedom fight. We bow before such a brave warrior, the Queen of Jhansi Lakshmibai. The life history of the Rani of Jhansi Lakshmibai, who preferred to sacrifice her life at the young age of 23 years in battle, is very inspiring. She surprised the British by showing extraordinary fighting spirit and valour in battles fought at Jhansi, then Kalpi and lastly at Gwalior. The British Major Sir Hugh Rose had to come down to treachery so as to be able to win over the fort of Jhansi. Such an extraordinary lady, who tied her son on her back while fighting the battle, will not be found in the history of the world. The valour and brave death she chose, which gave inspiration to the patriots belonging to the ‘Gadar’ party in the First World War, the organization of Shahid Bhagat Singh and to all revolutionaries from Swatatntryaveer Savarkar to Subhashchandra, is magnificent. Lot of literature has been written on the life history of Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi. Heroic poems have been composed in her honor.
Poem - Jhansi ki rani
Poet - Subhadrakumari Chauhan
सिंहासन हिल उठे राजवंशों ने भृकुटी तानी थी, बूढ़े भारत में भी आई फिर से नयी जवानी थी, गुमी हुई आज़ादी की कीमत सबने पहचानी थी, दूर फिरंगी को करने की सबने मन में ठानी थी।
चमक उठी सन सत्तावन में, वह तलवार पुरानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
कानपूर के नाना की, मुँहबोली बहन छबीली थी, लक्ष्मीबाई नाम, पिता की वह संतान अकेली थी, नाना के सँग पढ़ती थी वह, नाना के सँग खेली थी, बरछी, ढाल, कृपाण, कटारी उसकी यही सहेली थी।
वीर शिवाजी की गाथायें उसको याद ज़बानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
लक्ष्मी थी या दुर्गा थी वह स्वयं वीरता की अवतार, देख मराठे पुलकित होते उसकी तलवारों के वार, नकली युद्ध-व्यूह की रचना और खेलना खूब शिकार, सैन्य घेरना, दुर्ग तोड़ना ये थे उसके प्रिय खिलवाड़|
महाराष्ट्र-कुल-देवी उसकी भी आराध्य भवानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
हुई वीरता की वैभव के साथ सगाई झाँसी में, ब्याह हुआ रानी बन आई लक्ष्मीबाई झाँसी में, राजमहल में बजी बधाई खुशियाँ छाई झाँसी में, सुघट बुंदेलों की विरुदावलि-सी वह आयी थी झांसी में,
चित्रा ने अर्जुन को पाया, शिव को मिली भवानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
उदित हुआ सौभाग्य, मुदित महलों में उजियाली छाई, किंतु कालगति चुपके-चुपके काली घटा घेर लाई, तीर चलाने वाले कर में उसे चूड़ियाँ कब भाई, रानी विधवा हुई, हाय! विधि को भी नहीं दया आई।
निसंतान मरे राजाजी रानी शोक-समानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
बुझा दीप झाँसी का तब डलहौज़ी मन में हरषाया, राज्य हड़प करने का उसने यह अच्छा अवसर पाया, फ़ौरन फौजें भेज दुर्ग पर अपना झंडा फहराया, लावारिस का वारिस बनकर ब्रिटिश राज्य झाँसी आया।
अश्रुपूर्ण रानी ने देखा झाँसी हुई बिरानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
अनुनय विनय नहीं सुनती है, विकट शासकों की माया, व्यापारी बन दया चाहता था जब यह भारत आया, डलहौज़ी ने पैर पसारे, अब तो पलट गई काया, राजाओं नव्वाबों को भी उसने पैरों ठुकराया।
रानी दासी बनी, बनी यह दासी अब महरानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
छिनी राजधानी दिल्ली की, लखनऊ छीना बातों-बात, कैद पेशवा था बिठूर में, हुआ नागपुर का भी घात, उदैपुर, तंजौर, सतारा,कर्नाटक की कौन बिसात? जब कि सिंध, पंजाब ब्रह्म पर अभी हुआ था वज्र-निपात।
बंगाले, मद्रास आदि की भी तो वही कहानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
रानी रोयीं रनिवासों में, बेगम ग़म से थीं बेज़ार, उनके गहने कपड़े बिकते थे कलकत्ते के बाज़ार, सरे आम नीलाम छापते थे अंग्रेज़ों के अखबार, 'नागपुर के ज़ेवर ले लो लखनऊ के लो नौलख हार'।
यों परदे की इज़्ज़त परदेशी के हाथ बिकानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
कुटियों में भी विषम वेदना, महलों में आहत अपमान, वीर सैनिकों के मन में था अपने पुरखों का अभिमान, नाना धुंधूपंत पेशवा जुटा रहा था सब सामान, बहिन छबीली ने रण-चण्डी का कर दिया प्रकट आहवान।
हुआ यज्ञ प्रारम्भ उन्हें तो सोई ज्योति जगानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
महलों ने दी आग, झोंपड़ी ने ज्वाला सुलगाई थी, यह स्वतंत्रता की चिनगारी अंतरतम से आई थी, झाँसी चेती, दिल्ली चेती, लखनऊ लपटें छाई थी, मेरठ, कानपुर,पटना ने भारी धूम मचाई थी,
जबलपुर, कोल्हापुर में भी कुछ हलचल उकसानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
इस स्वतंत्रता महायज्ञ में कई वीरवर आए काम, नाना धुंधूपंत, ताँतिया, चतुर अज़ीमुल्ला सरनाम, अहमदशाह मौलवी, ठाकुर कुँवरसिंह सैनिक अभिराम, भारत के इतिहास गगन में अमर रहेंगे जिनके नाम।
लेकिन आज जुर्म कहलाती उनकी जो कुरबानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
इनकी गाथा छोड़, चले हम झाँसी के मैदानों में, जहाँ खड़ी है लक्ष्मीबाई मर्द बनी मर्दानों में, लेफ्टिनेंट वाकर आ पहुँचा, आगे बढ़ा जवानों में, रानी ने तलवार खींच ली, हुया द्वंद असमानों में।
ज़ख्मी होकर वाकर भागा, उसे अजब हैरानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
रानी बढ़ी कालपी आई, कर सौ मील निरंतर पार, घोड़ा थक कर गिरा भूमि पर गया स्वर्ग तत्काल सिधार, यमुना तट पर अंग्रेज़ों ने फिर खाई रानी से हार, विजयी रानी आगे चल दी, किया ग्वालियर पर अधिकार।
अंग्रेज़ों के मित्र सिंधिया ने छोड़ी राजधानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
विजय मिली, पर अंग्रेज़ों की फिर सेना घिर आई थी, अबके जनरल स्मिथ सम्मुख था, उसने मुहँ की खाई थी, काना और मंदरा सखियाँ रानी के संग आई थी, युद्ध श्रेत्र में उन दोनों ने भारी मार मचाई थी।
पर पीछे ह्यूरोज़ आ गया, हाय! घिरी अब रानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
तो भी रानी मार काट कर चलती बनी सैन्य के पार, किन्तु सामने नाला आया, था वह संकट विषम अपार, घोड़ा अड़ा, नया घोड़ा था, इतने में आ गये सवार, रानी एक, शत्रु बहुतेरे, होने लगे वार-पर-वार।
घायल होकर गिरी सिंहनी उसे वीर गति पानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
रानी गई सिधार चिता अब उसकी दिव्य सवारी थी, मिला तेज से तेज, तेज की वह सच्ची अधिकारी थी, अभी उम्र कुल तेइस की थी, मनुज नहीं अवतारी थी, हमको जीवित करने आयी बन स्वतंत्रता-नारी थी,
दिखा गई पथ, सिखा गई हमको जो सीख सिखानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
जाओ रानी याद रखेंगे ये कृतज्ञ भारतवासी, यह तेरा बलिदान जगावेगा स्वतंत्रता अविनासी, होवे चुप इतिहास, लगे सच्चाई को चाहे फाँसी, हो मदमाती विजय, मिटा दे गोलों से चाहे झाँसी।
तेरा स्मारक तू ही होगी, तू खुद अमिट निशानी थी, बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुँह हमने सुनी कहानी थी, खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वह तो झाँसी वाली रानी थी।।
Poem on Samadhi of queen of Jhansi
Poet - Subhadrakumari Chauhan
इस समाधि में छिपी हुई है, एक राख की ढेरी | जल कर जिसने स्वतंत्रता की, दिव्य आरती फेरी || यह समाधि यह लघु समाधि है, झाँसी की रानी की | अंतिम लीलास्थली यही है, लक्ष्मी मरदानी की ||
यहीं कहीं पर बिखर गई वह, भग्न-विजय-माला-सी | उसके फूल यहाँ संचित हैं, है यह स्मृति शाला-सी | सहे वार पर वार अंत तक, लड़ी वीर बाला-सी | आहुति-सी गिर चढ़ी चिता पर, चमक उठी ज्वाला-सी |
बढ़ जाता है मान वीर का, रण में बलि होने से | मूल्यवती होती सोने की भस्म, यथा सोने से || रानी से भी अधिक हमे अब, यह समाधि है प्यारी | यहाँ निहित है स्वतंत्रता की, आशा की चिनगारी ||
इससे भी सुन्दर समाधियाँ, हम जग में हैं पाते | उनकी गाथा पर निशीथ में, क्षुद्र जंतु ही गाते || पर कवियों की अमर गिरा में, इसकी अमिट कहानी | स्नेह और श्रद्धा से गाती, है वीरों की बानी ||
बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुख हमने सुनी कहानी | खूब लड़ी मरदानी वह थी, झाँसी वाली रानी || यह समाधि यह चिर समाधि है , झाँसी की रानी की | अंतिम लीला स्थली यही है, लक्ष्मी मरदानी की ||

And even though we are somewhat safe today!
And i think this safeness is only due to "FATE OF OUR SUCH VALIANT(BRAVE) SAHEEDS" like LAKSHMI BAI.
I salute her with my deep inner concious and heart.

Rani Jhansi was indeed a great fighter and patriot. She fought against the British to throw them out which was the national duty. If she had declared herself asw the Queen of India then her mutiny could have been successful. But she declared the Mughal king Bahadur Shah Zafar as her king and declared her allegiance to him. Zafar was too old to run the empire. When he went out in royal processions in old Delhi women called him as `Oye Buddhe'. They also plucked his beard. He was so exasperated that he stopped going out in royal processions. 2nd August, 1857 was Bakreid. Muslim butchers sacrificed five cows in the Jama Masjid area of Delhi. This angered the Hindu sepys. They slowly withdrew from the battle for freedom because they felt that if the war went in their favour then Mughal fascit rule would come back with a vengeance. They felt that Hindus were being used by the Muslims jihadis to overthrow the British and once the British were thrown out the Mughal fascist rule come with a vengeance. So they withdrew and the British won. There was victory for Hindus in this defeat.
salute for the greate woman who inspired the womens all over the world.JHANSI RANI LAKSHMI BAI.....

The courage and sacrifice of Maharani Laxmi Bai has inspired Indians to march towards freedom from the occupancy of British. This inspirational thoughts should be read by each and every Indian women so that they can live with honour and respect in India. We Indian should salute every Indian women and pledge that we give them due honour and respect.

Nice Article thanks for sharing.
Hats off to The Great Jhansi ki Rani.
Now this what all Hindu woman of India should look upon!
Learn to defend yourself ! Don't look weak in front of the dharma haters ! Don't think they will feel sorry for any ahimsa practicing pussies ! They will use it to destroy you since they know damn sure you will not fight back ! The medias, police, and politicians don't give any shit about you ! Have some self respect !
Rani Lakshmi was a dharma woman of self respect. Learn something for her NOW before it is all to late !

I feel that had the TOTAL planning of the First War of Independence had been put on Rani Laxmibai's shoulders, right from Delhi to Bengal, our nation's history and destiny would have been different. In the brief period of 1 year or so, she displayed explempary skills of man-mangement and bravery and was able to motivate her troops which no other rebel general was able to od. Even General Hugh Rose assessed her as the best rebel leader he encountered during that period.

The article is really worth reading by all the Indians in and out of India , But I also request you to take some action against the serial 'jhansi ki Rani' shown on Zee tv. At first it was very good but it is becoming a bollywood picture, please take some action to stop it, as it is really hurting the feelings.

rani laxmi bai is a great freedom fighter she shows what a women can do if she decided to do .she fought for the indians not for a muslim hindu or any other religions today we fight for the caste and regions. we shold be shameful for our past deeds and always think for the betterment of india as our freedom fighter shows for 200 years now its our duty to protect our mother land from the invension of bad peiple but if we keep fighting then india again comes under some other nation . if should not see whether a person is muslim or hindu or sikh we should help him talk him share every thing as a human and more important as a indian. a true indian lover just thikk that this land is her mother and people living there are his brother and sisters love given is return in the form of love only please stop fighting on the base of caste it is an evil practice which is entered in india by british but not we are practicing it means we are following brishers not our great indian freedom fighter think about it. thank yopu iam mr.india.................... irfan

I was very lucky to get this article from my father and due to which I came across this site.
Articles like this are very much needed today, where the youth and our future generation is completely at the discretion of the media(we all know how disgusting they are) and the filmworld which reflect anything but our tradition and culture.The increasing crimes and loss of humanity we see today can be taken care of if such websites are put across to the youth.WE need to advertise more on these sites and articles (How? I really don't know).People may ignore it once ,twice or many times, but if it always falls on ur face/sight, eventually one will see it and it will have some influence..
HJS is great!!
Rani Lakshibai was a great lady.I salute her spirit and I wish this kind of great human being come in this time to kill all evil person in this world.I respect her so much and she is my idol.

Today nobody even mentions Shivaji,Jhansi ki Rani orRana Pratap,the media has made Shahrukh Khan and AR Rahman as our icons,forget the Hindu past,the future is of Muslims,thats what media is telling us,they have submitted before Muslims and now want us to do the same.AR Rahman can never get my respect because he changed his religion,his voice and his music lacks soul and yet he has become the darling of the media because he changed his religion so now he is an icon of secular India,if you are a true Hindu reject AR Rahman and his music and also realise that the reason he got an Oscar was that he composed the music of a film that shows the poverty and disgrace of our great country.If your a true Hinu then say Jai Hindustan and realise that Islam is not a religion of peace,in the Quran Muslims are told to destroy idols are kill Kafirs(non muslims),read the Quran,it tells Muslims to never rest till Islam rules the world and every Kafir is cut to pieces and every idol is destroyed,always remember the great Sambhaji whose story of torture must inspire us to destroy the evil of Islam.

we know Rani lakshmi bai and her bravery but i think we should think that History should not be destorted.
why I am telling like because Zee Channel showing Zanshi Ki Rani drama serial with fully distorted version of History. Nobody oppose this serial.
yes, one thing is good that new generation come to know that who is Rani lakshmibai, Raja Gangadhar but with distoreted version.
has HJS thought on that? did you get similar repsonse from viewers?
please give proper direction to viewer.

THANKS FOR A GOOD ARTICLE ON LIFE & HEROICS OF MAHARANI LAKSHMIBAI OF JHANSI. IT IS GOOD, BUT, WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER IF YOU WOULD HAVE ADDED A FEW LINES FROM THE EPIC POEM OF SHRI VRINDAVAN LAL VERMA, "KHUB LADI MARDANI WOH TO JHANSI WALI RANI THI". ALSO, A FEW APPRECIATIVE REMARKS OF THE BRITISH OFFICERS WHO FOUGHT AGAINST HER WOULD ALSO HAVE BEEN QUITE APPROPRIATE.
Appreciate if you could help us to improve by sparing some time to fill up survey below.
