General Information |
| |
 Jhansi, the gateway to Bundelkand, was a stronghold
of the Chandela kings but lost its importance after the eclipse of the
dynasty in the 11th century. It rose to prominence again in the 17th
century under Raja Bir Singh Deo who was a close associate of Mughal
Emperor Jahangir. However its great claim to fame is its fiery queen Rani
Laxmibai who led forces against the British in 1857 A.D. sacrificing
her life to the cause of Indian independence. |
