'...a welcome addition to the field of post-colonial literature on South Asia. It provides an overview of key British colonial texts, elaborating specifically the context in which the Mutiny took place. Arguably its most important contribution is to open fresh avenues for studying the effects of colonial discourses on contemporary social and political identity construction among Muslims in India,South Asia generally and the world today.' - Faris Nasrallah, SOAS, University of London, South Asia Research
