Kalindi Rani, the 19th century`queen regnant of the Chakma kingdom in the Chittagong Hill Tracts of Undivided India (now in Bangladesh), resisted the British for 41 years, from 1832 to 1873. But rather than picking up the sword or the gun, she used the colonial court and institutions as battlefields and the colonial laws as her weapons to defeat the British. She is immortal for her words, "I don’t want to see a monkey’s face" when British Deputy Commissioner cum magistrate Captain TH Lewin demanded to meet her. She instead ordered her guards to banish him from the palace gate.
