Queens Podcast
Shownotes Transcript
Have you ever heard of Rani of Jhansi? She's sometimes referred to as India's Joan of Arc, so you know we're discussing a Warrior Queen
Rani of Jhansi, also known as Rani Lakshmibai, was one of the most prominent figures in the Indian Rebellion of 1857. But today, we're learning about how she got there. She was born in 1828 in Varanasi, India (probably?). Manu (as her family called her) was a Scorpio and it shows. Hard headed to the core with an independent streak, the future Rani of Jhansi did not have a conventional childhood.
Manu was married at a young age to the Maharaja (king) of Jhansi and from there her story gets pretty wild. Rani of Jhansi was a remarkable figure in Indian history, who fought against the British Empire and became an icon of resistance and freedom. Her story is a testament to the power of courage, determination, and leadership in the face of adversity. So, join us as we learn what lead to her life taking this crazy turn.
