Shahana Dasgupta in her book, Rani Lakshmibai the Indian heroine describes Rani Lakshmibai as a freedom fighter for Jhansi against the British rule. The Queen of Persia, Esther reigned over 127 provinces starting from Ethiopia to India. She is a brave woman who took a stand for Jews in a crucial time.

Lakshmibai, The Rani of Jhansi was the queen of the Maratha-ruled princely state of Jhansi in India. She was one of the leading personality of the Indian rebellion of 1857, and a symbol of resistance to British rule in India. The name of Rani Lakshmibai in Indian History is synonymous with heroism and courage. In extremely adverse circumstance she staunchly refused to give in to the demands of the formidable opponents, the Britishers; fought them bravely with only a handful of allies and finally sacrificed her life in the battlefield.
