Скачать или смотреть Kittur Rani Chennamma - The Queen who Refused to Surrender

Two hundred years ago — October 23rd, 1824 — Kittur rose against an empire.
What began as a dispute over an adopted heir turned into a rebellion that stunned the East India Company.
From the ramparts of a small fort in north Karnataka, Rani Chennamma led her troops herself — and the British Collector, St. John Thackeray, fell in battle.
For a brief moment, the empire trembled.
And though she was later captured and imprisoned, Kittur had already made its mark — a kingdom that refused to surrender, and a queen who never truly lost.
