Item description from seller

Contents: Preface. 1. Introduction. 2. The causes of the rebellion. 3. Battles of 1857. 4. Results of the revolt. 5. Indian fighters of 1857. Bibliography. Index. The Great Rebellion of 1857 in India was much more than a sepoy mutiny. It was a major event in South Asian and British colonial history that significantly challenged imperialism in India. In May 1857 soldiers of the Bengal army shot their British officers, and marched on Delhi. Their mutiny encouraged rebellion by considerable numbers of Indian civilians in a broad belt of northern and central India roughly from Delhi in the west to Benares in the east. For some months the British presence in this area was reduced to beleaguered garrisons, until forces were able to launch offensives that had restored imperial authority by 1858. In India and Pakistan it has been termed as the War of Independence of 1857 or First War of Indian Independence but it is not uncommon to use terms such as the Revolt of 1857. The classification of the Rebellion being First War of Independence is not without its critics in India. The use of the term Indian Mutiny is considered by some Indian politiciansas belittling the importance of what happened and therefore reflecting an imperialistic attitude.
