उत्तर
- Rani Laxmi Bai became a bitter enemy of the British because they annexed her kingdom of Jhansi under the Doctrine of Lapse, refusing to recognise her adopted son as the legitimate heir.
- This injustice and the loss of her kingdom fuelled her resentment, leading her to actively resist British rule during the Indian Rebellion of 1857.
