King And Queen Of Jhansi Comments

Each one felt the other's pain! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

Hi Jeanette, This is my first experience with your lovely write. It astounds me to read your beautiful ballad on the most wonderful piece of history of India's struggle for independence. The story which has inspired millions of Indians (and of course, non-Indians too, whoever loves freedom) through generations. I had studied this piece of history as a little child in the school was ever a devotee of the great couple. Apart from history, your poem stands apart: A lovely couple indeed. Each one felt the other's pain Whether apart or together. They had one vision and one alone. A vision to defend and protect Jhansi. They vowed to do so at any cost Even to the point of death. Those under their reign loved them Although among them were hidden cobras. At a very young age she understood She had to stand by her king in all things. Wow! Your reference to the enemies of the kingdom who were successful in killing the only heir the royal couple, so that the kingdom and the royal lineage come under the new rule of the British: : Any country-state in India would be annexed to the British empire, if there were no heirs in the ruling family. And after the demise of her husband, Rani Lakhsmi Bai (Jhansi Rani as we called her) stood up against this rule, ready to relinquish her life for the State. She was courage and patriotism personified. Your own lines: A woman of tenacity was she. A woman of bravery was she. A woman of dignity was she. A woman devoted was she. A woman of influence was she. A woman of grace was she. Marvelous write. Obliged for sharing this great piece of poetry. For capturing the history with astounding accuracy. A100++ is nothing before this great piece of art. -unnikrishnan

The poem is a beautiful ballad. It juxtaposes the despondency of the king with the resilience of the queen and portrays the supremacy of the resilience of human spirit in the face of adversities. It demonstrates the validity of the claim that defeat is a temporary condition, giving up is what makes it permanent. It further celebrates the strength and insight derivable from meditation and the triumph of the human spirit over life's challenges.

Please read regarding instead of rdgarding, it has been inadvertently done.

Beautiful historical poem rdgarding the queen and king of Jhansi has been painted nicely and vividly taking their boldness and patriotism. It is a great tribute to queen Lakshmi Bai and Maharaja Gangadhar Rao Newalkar. Thanks for sharing.
