Book Description
"Frey's concise and readable history of the Indian Rebellion is an excellent introduction to one of the most important wars of the nineteenth century. The rebellion lasted more than a year and pitted broad sections of north Indian society against the British East India Company. British victory consolidated colonial rule that would only be dislodged by twentieth-century nationalist movements. Frey provides a crystal-clear account of the causes, principal events, and consequences of the rebellion. Equally importantly, he deftly discusses why the rebellion remains controversial. Well-chosen documents add texture to the analysis. This is the best short history of the rebellion in print." —Ian Barrow, Middlebury College

Book Description
: Some of the recent writers have exploded many a myth concerning the First War of Independence in 1857. Tejinder Singh Walia has ventured to straighten the record through highlighting the role of Haryana in the freedom struggle in his book "HARYANA THE TORCH BEARER OF 1857.It makes an illuminating and serious reading. The writer's burning desire to unearth much of the truth that lays buried in the National Archives brings out many revealing facts and figures regarding the many-faceted sacrifices heroically made by the men, women and children of the soil now falling under the state of Haryana. The book is replete with facts and figures to make the authenticity of the claim convincing and substantial. For example, the fires that engulfed the buildings owned by the British Rulers were the first symptoms of revolt against the English masters on the very soil of Ambala a fact which cannot be underplayed by any amount of contrary reasoning. There are lots of other examples of defiance and rebellion stated in the book to illustrate the fact that not only the soldiers but the common man in the civics to equally shared the quota of sufferings in the form of inhuman torture, unfair prosecution and the sudden death meted out to the strong-minded patriots. Though we are all burdened by the overwhelming problems like the global warming, inflationary pressures and lots of other case of corruption, social and economic injustice, we still fervently harbor and are eager to express, feel and pay back what ever debt, however inadequately, the debt of gratitude and responsibility. So, goaded on by a strong desire to redness the dearth of awareness among our fellow-beings regarding the unforgettable sacrifices made by our freedom fighters, for example, how men, women and children were crushed ruthlessly by the rulers making the road named LAL SADAK in Hansi, a perennial reminder of the what man do to a man. Hence what started as an initial curiosity turned into a marathon search for the deeper recesses of the archives for the writer, his kith and kin, friends and a few other well-wishers in spending many sleepless nights and restless days to pay back a great debt to not only his own Walia ancestors but also to do justice to every freedom fighters of Haryana. Tejinder Singh Walia concedes that, after all, it were the cumulative sacrifices of the proud people of our pluralistic society whose glorious saga gave us the basis of a staunch national character. The readers would find the reading of the book absorbing and revealing from both aspects historical as well as human.

Book Description
This book examines the ruptured characteristics of colonialism in nineteenth-century India. It connects the British East India Company’s efforts at the bourgeoisation of India with the Revolt of 1857. The volume shows how the mutiny of Indian sepoys in the British Indian army became a popular uprising of peasants, artisans and discontented aristocrats against the British. Tracing the rationale and consequences of this conflict, the monograph highlights how newly introduced political, economic and agrarian policies as part of industrial Britain’s colonial policy wreaked havoc, resulting in high land revenue assessment and its harsh mode of collection, rural indebtedness, steady immiseration of peasants, widespread land alienation, destitution and suicide. Using rare archival sources, this book will be an important intervention in the study of nineteenth-century India, and will deeply interest scholars and researchers of modern Indian history and politics.

Book Description
The Indian Uprising of 1857 had a profound impact on the colonial psyche, and its spectre haunted the British until the very last days of the Raj. For the past 150 years most aspects of the Uprising have been subjected to intense scrutiny by historians, yet the nature of the outbreak itself remains obscure. What was the extent of the conspiracies and plotting? How could rumours of contaminated ammunition spark a mutiny when not a single greased cartridge was ever distributed to the sepoys? Based on a careful, even-handed reassessment of the primary sources, The Great Fear of 1857 explores the existence of conspiracies during the early months of that year and presents a compelling and detailed narrative of the panics and rumours which moved Indians to take up arms. With its fresh and unsentimental approach, this book offers a radically new interpretation of one of the most controversial events in the history of British India.
