		Despite the fact that the survey covers the colonial period, Roy does not view the government of British India as the prime mover of the economy.

		What happpened in 1857 in India has been variously described by h9storians as the Revolt of 1857, the Sepoy Mutiny, 1857, and the War of Independence.
		The last view that it was a War of independence is borne by the fact that it was an attempt to overthrow the Government of the East India Company which was well-estblished in India.
		There was certainly favourable background for an uprising in Nagpur as the memories of annexation of the Raj of the Bhosles, confiscation of their jewellery and public auctioning of their palace property were yet fresh in the public mind.

		On a stifling hot Sunday in May 1857, at the height of the British Raj in India, three regiments of native troops mutinied at Meerut, forty miles from Delhi.
		Of course from the perspective of the natives this was a Freedom Struggle NOT a mutiny.
