Summary "Lachmi Bai, Rani of Jhansi: The Jeanne D'Arc of India" by Michael White is a historical account written in the early 20th century. It explores the life and resistance of Lachmi Bai, the Rani (or Queen) of Jhansi, against British colonial rule in India during the tumultuous period of the Indian Mutiny of 1857. The book sheds light on her character, struggles, and the broader context of the rebellion, positioning her as a national heroine in the fight against oppression. The opening of the narrative sets a dramatic stage, depicting the city of Jhansi under a heavy summer sun, where tensions are palpably increasing as the people sense an impending upheaval. Lachmi Bai, depicted as a determined and capable leader, engages in fervent discussions with Ahmad Khan, a Mohammedan noble, about their plans to rise against British rule. As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that she is poised to lead her people in rebellion, harboring strong sentiments about her lost throne and the injustices faced by her people. The chapter ends with a sense of anticipation, as Lachmi Bai prepares for the pivotal moment that will shape her destiny and that of Jhansi. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
