The problem of how to read the revolt of 1857 has been a long standing concern in the historiography of India. The essays anthologised in this volume were presented in a seminar in Kolkata in March 2007 organised by the Asiatic Society to celebrate the 150 year of the event. The focus is on the regions beyond the Gangetic heartland. In the first part are presented five essays which look at certain general perspectives and historiographical issues while the eight other essays examine aspects of 1857 over a wide area stretching from Assam to Punjab via Bengal Orissa Andhra Tamil Nadu and Malwa. The book it is hoped would be of interest to both historians and general readers. 308 pp.
