Requirements: .PDF reader, 72.0 MB
Overview: There is a historiographical silence about the role of the Punjab during the War of Independence. Historians have generally employed the elite approach or the ‘top-down approach’ while writing the history of the war. Since the elite, including the rajas, feudal lords, and nawabs had
collaborated with the British, historians generalized their participation to that of the entire population of the province. A top-down approach inevitably emphasizes the role of the elite and neglects the role of the masses. So the role and response of the people of the Punjab during the War of
Independence 1857-8 requires a thorough re-appraisal, which this book intends on doing.
