About the Book
This book delves into the sepoy rebellions of the nineteenth century, using these pivotal events as a lens to explore the broader dynamics of pre-1857 colonial armies in India. It addresses critical themes such as the prevalence of notions of honour and justice among the sepoys, contrasting views of discipline, and the structures of deference within colonial military life.
By investigating how these mutinies also contributed to the construction of colonial stereotypes and influenced policy decisions, the book provides fresh insights into the early resistance movements against British colonial rule. This is an essential read for anyone interested in the complexities of colonial military history and the socio-political forces that shaped India's struggle for independence.
