The Indian Uprising of 1857 had a profound impact on the British experience on the subcontinent and fears of its recurrence continued to haunt the colonisers. This book explores the existence of conspiracies during early 1857 and presents a detailed narrative of the panics and rumours which moved Indians to take up arms.
