In this installment, the nefarious machinations of the British against Rani Jind Kaur are starkly exposed. Exiled and subjected to a reduction in her rightful share from the Panjab treasury, Rani Jind Kaur pens a poignant letter to the British representative, Henry Montgomery Lawrence.

With heartfelt anguish, she implores for justice, invoking the sanctity of motherhood and appealing to the conscience of those who have perpetrated such cruelty upon her.
Don't miss this riveting conclusion as Rani Jind Kaur's resilience and defiance against colonial oppression shine through in her unwavering struggle for justice.
