About the Book:-A love story between a Hindu widow and a young British magistrate set during the 1857 revolt. This book is the last in triology that was written by Meadows Taylor and were set around three major historical events in the annals of India history, and we separated by exactly a century from the other. A mixture of domestic ideology and liberal politics, these are Anglo-Indian romances, written by British colonials who lived in India during a period of indirect colonial rule. Instead of providing neat conclusions and smooth narratives, they become a record of the limits of liberal colonialism. They thus offer an important supplement to Victorian novels, extend the study of nineteenth-century domestic ideology, and offer a new perspective on colonial culture. Even though Edward Said’s Orientalism inspired several generations of scholars to study the English novel’s close involvement with colonialism, they have not considered how English novels themselves were radically altered by colonialism. The books also discusses the periods between 1657-Mugals Vs Maharatts, 1757-Battle of Plassey, 1857-the great Indian Mutiny. The book was first published in 1872.
