The story of the Rani of Jhansi Regiment unfolds against the backdrop of a world in chaos. As the res of World War II raged across the globe, the Indian independence movement found itself at a crossroads. The British Empire, weakened by the demands of a global conflict, faced mounting pressure from Indian nationalists who saw an opportunity to press their demands for freedom.
It was in this climate of uncertainty and possibility that Subhas Chandra Bose, the charismatic leader of the Indian National Army (INA), conceived of an audacious plan. Recognizing the untapped potential of India’s women, Bose called for the formation of an all-female regiment that would fight alongside their male counterparts in the struggle against British rule.
