Mutiny at the Margins: New Perspectives on the Indian Uprising of 1857
Mutiny at the Margins is an innovative project, in 7 volumes, intended to challenge the conventional understanding of the Uprising of 1857. Looking afresh at the Revolt from off-beat, at once original perspectives, it specifically focuses on the hitherto-neglected, socially marginal groups and geographic areas that have often gone unrepresented in studies of this cataclysmic event in British imperial and Indian historiography.
Carrying 15 essays, written by reputed scholars, Volume 1: Anticipations and Experiences in the Locality centres on the unrest and disorder in the long history of resistance to colonial rule (the belli Britannica) prior to 1857, and the impact of the revolt itself in diverse localities within India.
