This work brings forth a very important aspect, which somehow has been hitherto overlooked by the learned authors who have written upon the life and times of Rani Laxmibai of Jhansi. The new aspect or the NEW LIGHT is the unique role played by the Rani's father Moropant Tambe in the affairs of Jhansi. Moropant was a highly learned Marhatta Brahmin, and a genius in his own right. When the Rani was four years old her mother died and since then it was Moropant who was both father and mother to the Rani.

Dr. M.S. Renick passed M.A. (HISTORY) with distinction in 1958 from Government Hamidia College, Bhopal. After serving as Lecturer in History at Indore Christian College, Indore, Wilson College, Bombay and Hislop College, Nagpur, Dr. Renick joined St. John's College, Agra in 1962. He has published quite a few research papers in reputed Historical Journals and was awarded Ph.D. in History by the Agra University in 1978.

It gives me pleasure in writing the foreword of the book entitled "A new light on the history of Rani Laxmi Bai of Jhansi" written by Dr. M.S. Renick, former principal of St. John's College, Agra. Dr. Renick is an eminent teacher and scholar of history, who has written many a book on various historical topics which have been highly appreciated by scholars. He has an aptitude for genuine research in history.
