Synopsis
FEATURING EXCITING AND ACCESSIBLE LEARNING RESOURCES, BRINGING THIS INCREDIBLE TRUE STORY TO LIFE
THE KINGDOM OF JHANSI. 1857.
The British first came to India as traders. Now they're here as soldiers, taking over new territories, and they've got their eye on the small kingdom of Jhansi. But they aren t prepared for the kingdom's courageous queen. Lakshmibai, the Rani of Jhansi, rides a magnificent horse and wields her own sword; she trains other women to fight alongside her; she is determined that the kingdom will pass from her to her adopted son.
So when the British demand that she hand over control, she refuses. And when an uprising begins to stir, the Rani will have to decide whether or not to join the fight.
