Synopsis
This book meticulously narrates the events of the Indian Mutiny of 1857, drawing extensively from military records of the time and thoroughly researched secondary sources. The author provides detailed accounts of the initial outbreaks of discontent at Barrackpore and Berhampore, and the subsequent mutiny at Meerut, which ultimately ignited the larger rebellion. The book delves into the underlying causes of the mutiny, including religious tensions sparked by rumors of greased cartridges and broader grievances within the native army. It also highlights the heroic actions of several British officers and the loyalty of some sepoy regiments. Offering a nuanced understanding of the conflict and its historical context, this book sheds light on the complex relationship between the British Raj and the people of India during a pivotal moment in the subcontinent's history.
