The name of Manikarnika of Kashi, Manu, alias Maharani Lakshmibai, has been remarkable on the documents of the country's independence as the greatest heroine of the 1857 revolution. Who had given martyrdom at the age of just 30 years due to the devious plot of the Britishers to annex the states, but stopped his kingdom from being captured by the British. At the same time, today i.e. June 18 is his death anniversary.
In Indian history, Rani Lakshmibai, a symbol of her beauty, bravery and courage, is said to be a source of inspiration not only for women but also for men. Rani Lakshmibai was born in Varanasi (then Kashi) in UP (then United Provinces) on 19 November 1828 in a Brahmin family. She was named Manikarnika Tambe as a child, she was also fondly called as Manu in short.
Father Moropant Tambe was employed in the court of Peshwa Bajirao II, while mother Bhagirathi Bai was a cultured, intelligent and pious woman, but Manu was very young when her mother said goodbye to the world. Being alone in the house, Moropant started taking Manu with him to the Peshwa's court every day. Growing up among the boys in the Peshwa court itself, Manu became proficient in martial arts, fencing, horse riding etc. in her childhood.
Death is also a matter of discussion: Let us tell you that Lakshmibai has been martyred while fighting with the British army in Gwalior, but there is still confusion among historians about her death. According to some historians, Laxmibai lost her life due to the bullet of a soldier while fighting, while some historians say that Rani Lakshmibai died due to the sword of Captain Hurose, a senior officer of the British Army, this same Huroz It was, who is also called 'Clever and Beautiful Woman' after seeing Lakshmibai for the first time, after the death of the queen, Captain Huroes saluted Rani Laxmibai. We pay tribute to Rani Laxmi Bai on her death anniversary.
