Lakshmibai, Rani of Jhansi

(1828–1858), was the queen of the Maratha-ruled princely state of Jhansi. She was one of the leading figures in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, and for Indian nationalists, she is a symbol of resistance to the rule of the British East India Company.
Equestrian statues of Lakshmibai can be seen in many places of India, often showing her on a staggering horse with her son tied to her back.
