00:00The year was 1840. The Indian Sarantinist was under British rule. At that time, the
00:09common people were bandered by the oppression of the British. At that time, there was a
00:15fearless noble woman who saved the common people from the tyranny of the British. Suddenly,
00:22some newcomers come running. What troubles you? Oh Rani Ma, it's the taxes. Fear not.
00:31The fishermen exchange doubtful glances. What brings you here, Rani Rashmani? I have come
00:39to discuss the burdensome taxes imposed upon the fishermen of my land. You dare to demand?
00:49You are just a woman. Do not underestimate me, for I represent the voice of my people.
00:55Suddenly, a commotion is heard as the British soldiers arrive, armed and ready to intimidate.
01:07Despairs at once. But the fishermen stand their ground, emboldened by Rani Rashmani's
01:16You have heard the demands of my people. Will you heed them or shall we resort to more drastic
01:24mischief? The taxes will be reduced as per Rani Rashmani's request. And she signed an
01:31agreement with the East India Company. Rani paid Rs. 10,000 to the company under the agreement.
01:37In Britain, she took a lease of 10 km of the Hooghly River. She fastened strong iron chains.
01:45He encircled the chain in such a way that British steamers or ships were stopped.
01:52The fishermen erupt into cheers, grateful for Rani Rashmani's intervention.
