Memories of a queen

150 years have passed since 1857. To mark these 150 years, The Times of India initiated a series, revisiting the places associated with 1857. As part of this series, I recently went to Jhansi, nestled in the southwestern tip of Uttar Pradesh and perhaps one of the few places in today’s India, that still identifies so closely with events that took place during those times. The reason for this is probably Lakshmi Bai-Jhansi's queen, who has ensured that Jhansi's place in history will forever remain secure.
