| Highlights
: 1857 was a defining moment in the
history of the Brtish Empire. As native troops
"rebelled" against their colonial
masters and were joined by a large number
of local chiefs, civilians and princes, the
Empire almost lost its prised territory. A
hundred and fifty (one) years later, scholars,
academics and historians still argue about
the exact nature of the uprising and the appropriate
nomenclature for it: the First War of Iindependence,
the Great Indian Mutiny, the Sepoy Rebellion.
Debates still rage over its causes. |
