Reflection Questions
- What is the difference between the words mutiny and rebellion?
- Why would the British textbooks refer to it as the Indian Mutiny and Indian perspectives the Sepoy Rebellion or the First War of Independence?
- Why do you think that Lakshmibai is celebrated in Indian culture, but barely mentioned in the modern Western History books about the Sepoy Rebellion?
- Why would early Western novels depict her as a seductress and jezebel?
- Why do you think paintings depict her son as an infant?
- How useful are songs in telling stories of the past?
- From whose perspective is the song written?
- How might you check the reliability of a song?
