| Abstract: | Received historiographic wisdom has ossified the belief that Indians educated in English, the intelligentsia who ushered in New India, were for the first fifty years categorical in their condemnation of 1857. They condemned it as a mutiny of disgruntled soldiers and as a last desperate attempt by dispossessed, backward looking feudal interests to get rid of the British. Only after Savarkar' s dissenting intervention did they tend to move from their settled adverse verdict towards a positive view of 1857. |
