A hit and run posting without reading all the others on this thread. So my apologies if I am repeating someone else's explanation.

I suspect that Helen was not speaking of any Indian origins (though for all I know she might have a bit of the ol' Hindu blood in her ) but noting that perspective (in my case Indian versus English) can change the way we see things. 'Bloody' Mary to the Protestants is 'Good Queen' Mary to the Catholics.

ps. For reference, my original example was regarding the event in 1857 that the British called The Sepoy Mutiny and Indian history books refer to as The First War of Indian Independence.
