This book focuses on the `sepoy' rebellions of the nineteenth century as an entry point into the wider dynamics of the pre-1857 colonial armies. It also seeks to explore the broader issues these mutinies raise about the prevalence of certain notions of honour and justice among the `sepoys', contrasting conceptions of discipline, structures of deference, the construction of colonial stereotypes and their influence on policy decisions, etc.
