This is what Britishers told abt Jhansi rani

Jhansi rani'sCharacter

" ..a very civil, polite and clever young lady.."

-- Sir Robert Hamilton, Agent in Central India

" [The Rani] is a woman highly respected and esteemed, and I believe fully capable of doing justice to the charge [of governing Jhansi]"

-- Major Malcolm, Political Agent
He later seemingly changed his mind, refusing to forward an endorsement of the Rani's case from Major Ellis, the Political Agent at Jhansi.

" [The Rani comported herself as] a brave-minded woman had to do in her position, [being] quite capable of discussing her affairs with a Committee or government."

-- 'Other witnesses' quoted in Fraser

" She is a wonderful woman, very brave and determined. It is fortunate for us that the men are not all like her."

-- Cornet Combe, 3rd Bombay Light Cavalry
Combe was one of those who intercepted her flight from Jhansi.

" In her death the rebels lost their bravest and best military leader."

-- Regimental history of the 8th Hussars
The 8th Hussars are most probably the unit responsible for her death.

" The Ranee was remarkable for her bravery, cleverness and perseverance; her generosity to her Subordinates was unbounded. These qualities, combined with her rank, rendered her the most dangerous of the rebel leaders."

-- General Sir High Rose
Officer commanding the force that took Jhansi and Gwalior

thanks for sharing, this shows that she was much respected even by the British

Thank u for sharing and not only us,Indian women but all the women of the world should feel proud that there was such a woman like JKR.

Thanks, This was really interesting. I am surprised that the British think this way about her. She is highly respected by British also.
