Eminent Personalities - Rani Lakshmi Bai of Jhansi!

चमक उठी सन सत्तावन में
वो तलवार पुरानी थी
बुंदेले हरबोलों के मुंह हमने सुनी कहानी थी
खूब लड़ी मर्दानी वो तो
झांसी वाली रानी थी.

My name is Rani Lakshmi Bai, the brave queen of Jhansi.
Even as a girl, I fought the British in the first war of Independence with Tatya Tope.
Today, I want to give two messages to the people of India.
First, girls can do whatever boys can do.
And second, we must save the girl child as they are our future.

हर हर महादेव
