Solution
The correct option is B General Hugh Rose
Sir Hugh Rose, commanding the British forces, demanded the surrender of the city; if this was refused it would be destroyed. After due deliberation the Rani issued a proclamation: "We fight for
independence. In the words of Lord Krishna, we will if we are
victorious, enjoy the fruits of victory, if defeated and killed on the
field of battle, we shall surely earn eternal glory and salvation." She defended Jhansi against British troops when Sir Hugh Rose besieged Jhansi on 23 March 1858.
