Veer Savarkar | "That the resolute and capable Begum still maintained, in spite of all these disorders, the whole administration in tact is a sure indication of her grit." |
Qurratulain Hyder | "Begum Hazrat Mahal of Oudh was the last of the breed of able queens and generals. The queen led her kingdom's army into battle during the revolt of 1857. Even after she was defeated she defied Queen Victoria's famous Proclamation and issued a counter Proclamation...." |
