This week will focus on the consequences of the 1857 Uprising, both in India and on a global scale across the British Empire.

Seminar Questions:

1) The events of 1857 have invariably been labelled as a 'mutiny', a 'war of independence', a 'rebellion', and an 'uprising'. Why have these labels shifted over time, and what is their significance?

2) How is the Indian Uprising remembered today?

3) What were the legacies of the Indian Uprising in India?

4) How did the Indian Uprising transform the British colonial project?
