Be prepared for the brilliant language of propaganda in all things related to India. My favourite is this: in 1857, as is well known, there was a great deal of armed conflict all over India, primarily between native Indians, and their White/British 'overlords'.
In the UK, this conflict has always been called The Great Indian Mutiny.
In Indian history textbooks, it is only ever referred to as The First War of Indian Independence.
As I said before, you picks your side, and you chooses your nomenclature...
