Explanation

The iconic poem titled "Jhansi Ki Rani," which contains the famous refrain "Khoob ladi mardani woh to Jhansi wali rani thi," was written by the renowned Hindi poet and freedom fighter Subhadra Kumari Chauhan [3]. The poem narrates the heroic tale of Rani Lakshmibai and her valiant struggle against British forces during the 1857 Indian Rebellion. Subhadra Kumari Chauhan was a prominent figure in the 20th-century Hindi literary world and was a close contemporary of Mahadevi Varma [3]. Her work is celebrated for its 'Veer Ras' (heroic sentiment), and this particular poem became a source of inspiration during India's independence movement. While other options like Mahadevi Varma and Amrita Pritam were also distinguished poets, they are not the authors of this specific tribute to the Queen of Jhansi [1].
