A writer who has tried with the horror genre, mystery, history, and the military, Tanushree Podder now comes with both books for children, called ‘The Teenage Diary of Rani Laxmi Bai’.
Like the title, in this book the author gave readers to peek at a smaller life period of the life of the FREAT FOREST Great Fighter, Rani Laxmi Bai.
The time participating in the initial years in Bithoor but overtaking its active years on the battlefield was documented by the author.
In the Session at Times Litfest 2021, the author reads quotes from his book for viewers.
The quote consists of a conversation between Rani Laxmi Bai and a group of men who put his father, her husband, his adoptive brother, and his friend at his in-laws’ house, and how he overcomes contemporary ideas about gender and him.
New life as a queen and married woman.
The daughter of a poor Brahman, Manicarnika, when she was known at her girl’s house, married King Jhansi who hired his father as a vacuum.
His brother was adopted by Nana and his friend Tatya accompanied him and was discussing when Manicarnika was called.
He was nervous and irritated by habits and restrictions that he was targeted as a queen and as a married woman.
Even though it was given the same opportunity in all things, he was married at the age of 14 until a 40-year-old man he respected to allow access to every skill he wanted to learn but detained his freedom in his hand.
He often feels jealous of his brother and his friend for luxury and services that are ready to help them at all times.
He will reply to their sad comments by saying, “I prefer to lead Manu’s uncomplicated life.
Being Rani is not in accordance with my temperament.” His sadness was stripped of his identity as Manicarnika and had to refrain from a simple pleasure of life because the aggressive status was described in the quote and books by podder, which tracks Rani Laxmi Bai’s journey into the warriors he aspires to be.
