At that time Lord Dalhousie was the Governor -General of India.
Though little Damodar Rao, adopted son of late Maharaja Gangadhar
Rao and Rani Lakshmi Bai was Maharaja's heir and successor as per
the Hindu tradition, but the British rulers rejected Rani's claim
that Damodar Rao was their legal heir. Lord Dalhousie decided to
annexe the state of Jhansi as Maharaja Gangadhar Rao had left no
legal heir. This misfortune of Jhansi was used by the Britishers to
expand there Empire.
In March 1854 the British ruler announced 60,000 ( Sixty Thousand)
annual pension for Rani and also ordered to leave the Jhansi fort.
Jhansi was in humiliating condition but it was like a silent
volcano before eruption.Rani Jhansi was determined not to give up
Jhansi. She was a symbol of patriotism and self respect. Britishers
were making every effort to destroy the freedom of country whereas
Rani was determined to get rid of Britishers.
Rani Lakshmi Bai strengthened the defense of Jhansi and she
assembled a volunteer army of rebellions. Women were also given
Military training. Rani was accompanied by her brave warriors, some
of them were Gulam Gaus Khan, Dost Khan, Khuda Baksh, Lala Bhau
Bakshi, Moti Bai, Sunder-Mundar, Kashi Bai, Deewan Raghunath singh
and Deewan Jawahar Singh. Along with all these warriors the local
population of Jhansi irrespective of their religion or caste were
always determined to fight and give their lives with pleasure for
the cause of Independent and their beloved Rani.
The Britishers attacked Jhansi in March 1858. Rani Jhansi with her
faithful warriors decided not to surrender. The fighting continued
for about two weeks. Shelling on Jhansi was very fierce. In the
Jhansi army women were also carrying ammunition and were supplying
food to the soldiers. Rani Lakshmi Bai was very active. She herself
was inspecting the defense of the city. However, after this great
war, Jhansi fell to the British forces.
On that black day, the British army entered the Jhansi City. Rani
Lakshmi Bai, still full of courage and deathless patriotism dressed
as a man, took up arms, her son Damodar Rao was strapped tightly to
her back. She was holding the reins of her horse in her mouth. In
the fierce fighting she was using the sword with both her hands.
When the situation was not in control, Rani of Jhansi with some of
her warriors departed from Jhansi.
Rani Lakshmi Bai reached Kalpi. Many other rebellions force joined
her. Tatia Tope from Kalpi was also one of them, from Kalpi Rani
departed to the Gwalior. Again a fierce battle took place. Rani
Jhansi fought with deathless patriotism and martyrdom.
However on the second day of fighting, the great heroine of the
first struggle for India freedom, at the age of 22 years, lost her
life. That unfortunate day was 18th June of 1858.
