  The 400-year-old town of Jhansi still feels that it owes its fame to a young rani who ruled for four-and-a-half years. In the uprising of 1857 which came to be known as the ‘First War of Indian Independence`, she was a singular figure in a gallery of heroes. Rani Lakshmi Bai also became the protagonist in a different kind of story — fiction by British writers to dramatize the horrific experience of the mutiny in which an Oriental queen, full of passion, added a thrilling dimension.

But despite an incredible career, it took eighty years for Indians to write a comprehensive description of Rani Lakshmi Bai`s life. It was not because she was forgotten but that people who lived in her time did not leave any writing behind — and the few who knew her were too afraid of reprisals to profess links with her.

How did a young Marathi woman come to wield so much influence in a strongly Rajput-dominated region in the grip of an alien power?

The life of the warrior queen has inspired historians, writers and, more recently, film-makers. But for the first time, in biographer Tapti Roy`s vivid rendition, Lakshmi Bai is located within the wider context of her time and space. ISBN: 0143062212
