When the Raja Died, the british rulers refused to accept damodar Rao as the legal heir to the throne. According to the doctrine of lapse, Lord Dalhousie decided to capture the state of Jhansi during Revolt of 1857.

Laxmibai was ordered to leave the fort. But Rani Laxmibai refused to give her rights on Jhansi.

She assembled and strengthened her army when the british troops arrived to conquer the fort, she led her troops and fought the battle bravely. When she saw the they were loosing the battle, she tied her son to her back and ascaped.

On 18^th November, 1858, she was severely injured in the battle of Gwalior and she died. Her body was never found by the british. It is believed that her funeral was arranged by some local people as she wished.

Jai Hind .
