Rani Avantibai (1858) Lodhi-Warrior Queen!
Avantibai vowed to fight the British Raj to regain her land.1858

'Avantibai Lodhi' was the queen of 'King Vikramaditya Singh' of Ramgarh. When 'Vikramaditya Singh' became incapable of handling the affairs of the State due to ill health,[4] the British declared him as unfit to be a ruler. They also did not accept her sons Aman Singh and Sher Singh as heirs to the throne as they were minors. Avantibai Lodhi rose to the occasion and took charge of the administration, but was not recognized as the legitimate ruler by the British.
In 1851, the British declared Ramgarh as 'Court of Wards' and appointed their own administrator. She threw the administrator out and declared war against the British.[5] Avantibai Lodhi sent messengers to the rulers of neighboring kingdoms to join her in the war, rousing a wave of revolution in the central provinces. By 1857, the entire northern region joined the armed rebellion
