Rani of Jhansi Regiment

Rani Padmawati Regiment

Correct Answer:

Rani of Jhansi Regiment

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3 - Rani of Jhansi Regiment

The women's regiment in the Indian National Army founded by Subhash Chandra Bose was called the Rani of Jhansi Regiment. It was named after Rani Lakshmibai of Jhansi, a legendary Indian queen and freedom fighter.

The Rani of Jhansi Regiment was raised in July 1943 with volunteers from the expatriate Indian population in Southeast Asia. It was led by Captain Lakshmi Swaminathan (better known as Lakshmi Sahgal). The regiment saw action against the Allies in Burma during 1944-45.

The Rani of Jhansi Regiment was a unique unit in the Indian National Army. It was the only all-female combat regiment of the Second World War on all sides. The women of the regiment were highly trained and motivated, and they fought bravely against the Allies.

The Rani of Jhansi Regiment is a symbol of the courage and determination of the Indian women who fought for independence. It is also a reminder of the role of women in the Indian freedom struggle.
