DESCRIPTION
This is the first detailed study on what was perhaps the most serious resistance to British rule in North-East India after 1857. The author has made judicious use of jaintia oral history, weaving these sources with archival and published references. The origins of the uprising, its nature and course of military operations are presented in detail but without losing focus on the central issue of a tribal resistance offered to alien rule. The book should be useful for those interested in the study of resistance movements, British imperialism ad the North-East of India in Particular.
