The iconic line "Khoob lari mardani..." was written by Subhadra Kumari Chauhan in her 1930 poem Jhansi ki Rani. This poem immortalized the courage and bravery of Rani Lakshmibai during the 1857 Revolt. The poem, which remains an important part of Indian nationalist literature, is often taught in schools as a symbol of resistance against colonial rule.
