The Uprising - Colonial State, Christian Missionaries, and Anti-Slavery Movement in North-East India (1908-1954)

The book focuses on the confrontation between the colonialists and evangelists over the issue of slavery in the north-eastern part of the British empire in India. Written in the form of a narrative, integrating historical analysis, this work brings out the immense historical significance of this conflict as it exemplified not only the contradictions between the colonial state and the missionary institutions but also the impact of modernization on the colonized population.
