Abstract :
Abstract There are many such Ranis known for their patriotism and heroism, resistance and diplomacy, but they yet they have suffered the curse of invisibility due to their gender in the patriarchal set up of our country. Indian history has been unduly silent about them and relegated them to the limbo of oblivion. That is the reason why many Indians know nothing about the heroic Ranis of India other than perhaps the Rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi.
