About this listen

We know that when the Maharaja of Jhansi died in 1853, the British East India Company refused to recognize the claim of his adopted heir and issued an order for Jhansi's annexation instead. But did you know that when faced with the potential loss of her kingdom, the fiery Laxmibai appointed a tenacious, anti-colonialist, and maverick Australian lawyer to fight her case against Jhansi's annexation?

Today we reveal all.
