Following the death of Raja Gangadhar Rao, the British refused to acknowledge her adopted son in following the Doctrine of Lapse. The Rani was furious and protested against British policies.
Meanwhile, the First War of Indian Independence erupted and the British laid siege to Jhansi. The Rani donned the warrior’s clothes and fought bravely against the British to defend her Jhansi. She fought till her last breath to save her annexed state.
