Video - Queen of Jhansi: Sword, Saree, and Superhero Moves!

Did you know that Rani Lakshmi Bai, the fearless queen of Jhansi, was not just a royal but a rebel with a cause? In the 1850s, this warrior queen strapped her son to her back, gripping her sword tightly, and charged into battle against the British, becoming a symbol of resistance in India's fight for independence. Talk about multitasking! She was so fierce in combat that the British soldiers nicknamed her "The Indian Joan of Arc." Here’s a spicy detail: during one intense battle, she leapt from the fort of Jhansi on horseback, escaping the enemy's grasp. And guess what? Her horse, Badal, wasn't just any stallion; he was her loyal companion who jumped with her over a 20-foot wall! Now that’s what I call a leap of faith. So, next time you think of superheroes, remember, some of them actually wore sarees instead of capes. Want more epic history facts? Drop a comment below!
