Contrary to popular perception about the Rani of Jhansi, astride a horse with her child tied to her back, holding a sword, this picture of the queen enjoying her hookah is being described as false.
Vivek Tambay, a law student who claims to belong to the fifth generation of the Rani of Jhansi's cousin Anant Tambay, had filed a petition before Mumbai High Court several months ago, mentioning questions relating to the queen's family name and other issues.
