    Micro review: 'Queen of Fire' by Devika Rangachari


    'Queen of Fire' by award-winning children's writer and historian Devika Rangachari is a gripping novel in which she sheds light on the brave queen and fearsome warrior Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi whose cry of revolt against the British Raj mobilized thousands of Indian soldiers to become a part of the 1057 National Uprising.
