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.
