Synopsis

A travelogue of India written during Naipaul's 1980s sojourn, tracing the country's transformation from a colonized past into its modern self. The title alludes to the Mutiny of 1857 as an allegory for the millions of Indians now asserting their own agency and identity after centuries under British rule.
