Women Against the Raj: The Rani of Jhansi Regiment will be warmly welcomed as a major contribution to the fields of international history, military history and women's history.

The Regiment, a hitherto forgotten part of 'the Forgotten Army', was composed largely of teenage volunteers from Malayan rubber estates, girls who had never seen India yet were eager to enlist to liberate India from colonial bondage. Bose, creator of the Regiment, connected a historical thread extending from the original Rani of Jhansi, killed in battle by the British in 1858, through Bengali women revolutionaries of the 1930s, to the Regiment, which he hoped would spearhead the liberation of India. \"\"The Rani of Jhansi Regiment\"\" provides a model of empowerment relevant for contemporary Indian women.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"ISEAS - Yusof Ishak Institute","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52523381555480,"sku":"9789812308092","price":31.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/women-against-the-raj-the-rani-of-jhansi-regiment-hardback-9789812308092","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
