• A. Eighteen Fifty-Seven
• B. Theories of Indian Mutiny
• C. The Sepoy Mutiny and the Revolt of 1857
• D. None of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is A Eighteen Fifty-Seven

Eighteen Fifty-Seven was written by well known Indian Historian Dr.Surendra Nath Sen, with a foreword by Maulana Azad and published in May 1957 by the publication division, Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Government of India. The book gives an unbiased record of the first uprising against the British. None of the other books are authorized by the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting but are published by Calcutta Press and Cambridge University Press, hence, incorrect.
