THE GREAT, juggernaut of 19th-century British Imperialism was
rarely stopped in its tracks. Yet there was one moment when it was
halted with a peremptory suddenness that threatened to dislodge the
brightest jewel in the imperial crown: the Indian Mutiny of 1857 -
the insurrection by native troops in the British army of Bengal that
temporarily reclaimed Delhi as the seat of a revived Mogul Empire,
and, for a time, threatened to oust British power from northern India
for good.
