- catalog abstract ""Syed Ahmed Khan wrote The Causes of the Indian Revolt in the immediate aftermath of the revolt of 1857. He did so as a man who had been involved in that fateful event, and much affected by it." "Syed Ahmed had witnessed the terrible revenge the British wrought on Delhi and its inhabitants when the city was recaptured six months after the revolt, in September 1857, and he sought to correct the misconception that the uprising had been a Muslim conspiracy. He argued that the failure of the British to admit Indians into the Legislative Council, therby effectively preventing them from having any say in government policies that touched them directly, was the major cause behind the revolt." "This pamphlet needs to be read not just to savour the world-view of a man born and brought up during the last years of the Mughal empire, nor his penetrating analysis of just where the British made fatal mistakes in the decades before 1857, but to discern something of the quality of a great man and his mission."--Jacket.".
