Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai

Jhansi Ki Rani Lakshmibai is a historical novel by Hindi author Vrindavanlal Verma. It was first published in 1946. From 1946 to 1948, the author also wrote a play with the same title, which was staged in 1955. However, the novel gained greater fame and is considered a milestone in historical fiction in Hindi literature. A reprint of the novel was issued in 1951.

The novel is based on the life of Rani Lakshmibai, the queen of the Maratha-ruled Jhansi State during the British Raj in India. It also provides a modern interpretation of the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
