"Weaving together the varied and complex strands of anti-colonial nationalism into one compact narrative, Christhu Doss takes an incisive look at the deeper and wider historical process of decolonisation in India. In India After the 1857 Revolt, Doss brings together some of the most cutting-edge thoughts by challenging the cultural project of colonialism and critically examining the multidimensional aspects of decolonisation during and after the 1857 revolt. He demonstrates that the deep-rooted popular discontent among the Indian masses followed by the revolt generated a distinctive form of decolonisation movement-redemptive nationalism that challenged both the supremacy of the British raj and the cultural imperatives of the controversial proselytising missionary agencies. Doss argues that the quests for decolonisation (of mind) that got triggered by the revolt, were further intensified by the Indocentric national education; the historic Chicago discourse of Swami Vivekananda; the nonviolent anti-colonial struggles of Mahatma Gandhi; the seditious political activism displayed by the Western Gandhian missionary satyagrahis and the de-Westernisation endeavours of the sandwiched Indian Christian nationalists. A compelling read for historians, political scientists, and sociologists, it is refreshingly an indispensable guide to all those who are interested in anticolonial struggles and decolonisation movements worldwide"-- Provided by publisher.
