Overview: Modh's prince Kunwar Yuvraj, a law graduate from England, is welcomed by his mother in Modh. The anglicised Yuvraj hears his pro-British father assuring the British governor that they would help the Britons nab the pro-people rebel Rana Bankura. Laxmi Bai rules in favour of a widow's remarriage. Tatya Tope informs Laxmi Bai that many anti-British states are in touch with Jhansi. As his mother says that she has found a bride for him, Kunwar reminisces lovingly his encounter with Manu as a child.
