Born Manikarnika, she was affectionately called Manu in her family. Manu lost her mother at the age of four, and responsibility of looking after the young girl fell to her father.Her father Moropanth Tambey was a Karhade Brahmin and her mother Bhagirathibai was cultured, intelligent and religious.she was born at Kashi in 1828 and it is her love story that I am telling you all.she was not only known for her beauty but for her valour and patriotism too.THe love for her motherland was exemplary and we today need to love our motherland as she did.She was married to a king- Raja Gangadhar Rao Niwalkar, the Maharaja of Jhansi in 1842.Yes, here I speak of Jhnasi ki Rani-Lakshmi bai.
THe enemy leader commented that the Rani had been "the bravest and the best" of the rebels. Because of her unprecedented bravery, courage and wisdom and her progressive views on women's empowerment in 19th century India, and due to her sacrifices, she became an icon of Indian nationalist movement.Can we create more such patriotic and brave ladies to protect our nation and world from injustice ?
