“Here lay the woman who was the only man among the rebels”. A tribute to the Rani Jhansi was given by whom among the following?

[A] Tantia Tope

[B] Lord Canning

[C] Lord Dalhousie

[D] Sir Hugh Rose

Answer: D

Notes:

The most outstanding leader of the revolt was Rani Laxmibai, who assumed the leadership of the sepoys at Jhansi.

Lord Dalhousie, the governor-general, had refused to allow her adopted son to succeed to the throne after her husband Raja Gangadhar Rao died, and had annexed the state by the application of the infamous ‘Doctrine of Lapse’.
Driven out of Jhansi by British forces, she gave the battle cry—”main apni Jhansi nahin doongi” (I shall not give away my Jhansi).
She was joined by Tantia Tope, a close associate of Nana Saheb, after the loss of Kanpur.
The Rani of Jhansi had died on the battlefield earlier in June 1858. Jhansi was recaptured by Sir Hugh Rose.
