Correct Answer: D
– The correct matching of the books on the Indian Mutiny (Revolt of 1857) with their respective authors is as follows:
– ‘Eighteen Fifty-seven’ was written by S.N. Sen, who was commissioned by the Government of India to write a history of the mutiny.
– ‘Civil Rebellion in the Indian Mutinies (1857 – 1859)’ is a work by S.B. Chaudhuri.
– ‘The Sepoy Mutiny and the Revolt of 1857’ was written by R.C. Majumdar, who was initially commissioned but later wrote his independent account.
– ‘Awadh in Revolt, 1857 – 1858’ is a detailed study of the revolt in Awadh by Rudrangshu Mukherjee.
These books represent different perspectives and historical analyses of the 1857 revolt. S.N. Sen’s work was the official history, while R.C. Majumdar presented a view that differed from the official narrative, particularly on the nature and scope of the revolt. S.B. Chaudhuri focused on the civil uprisings that accompanied the sepoy mutiny. Rudrangshu Mukherjee’s work provides a regional study of the revolt in Awadh, highlighting the role of taluqdars and peasants.
