The uprising of 1857, often called a ‘Sepoy Mutiny’ or ‘The Indian Mutiny’ by many historians from both British and Indian backgrounds, is viewed differently by national-minded leaders and thinkers. They see it as a planned and organized political and military movement aimed at overthrowing British power in India.

Understanding the Indian War of Independence 1857

Key Insights and Background

Mr. Sawarkar offers a unique insight into the events of 1857 from an Indian standpoint. As a leading revolutionary, he was deeply inspired by the burning passion, bravery, suffering, and tragic fate of the 1857 leaders. He felt the need to tell their story fully, using all the resources available to him. Mr. Sawarkar dedicated many days and months at the India Office Library to studying this intense period of Indian history.

His remarkable work was published in 1909 under the title “The Indian War of Independence – 1857.” Notably, the Indian Government banned its entry even before its initial publication. This ban was eventually lifted by the Congress Government of Bombay in May 1946, marking the release of the first authorized edition of the book in India.
