Detailed Solution

The above statement is False.
Rani Lakshmibai was defeated and killed in June 1858. Prior to the revolt, Rani Lakshmibai’s husband passed away. She wanted the Company to recognise her adopted son as the heir to the kingdom. However, this demand was flatly rejected by the Britishers. Lord Dalhousie decided to proceed in accordance with the infamous Doctrine of Lapse, and Jhansi was annexed by the East India Company. This enraged her. As a result, she fought against the British during the Revolt of 1857. Despite her valiant attitude, she was eventually defeated by the British troops in 1858. She has since been immortalized in Indian history and has been revered for her bravery throughout generations.
The correct statement would be that Rani Lakshmibai was defeated and killed in June 1858.
