Queen of Jhansi, Rani Laxmi Bai, was a symbol of resistance to the rule of the British East India Company. She had independence because of her father. Rani made her own army.

At the age of 7 she got married and had a son. The baby died after only 4 months. The father was so heartbroken over his son's death that he died, leaving Rani to rule and protect the land by herself.

Rani was offered money for her land. She rejects the offer. This is when she organizes a rebellion for defense against the British for their city.

On May 10, 1857, the rebellion started in Meerut. During the rebellion, she was invaded. When she was invaded, she escaped with her son in the dead of night.
