By the time of Queen Victoria's death Cawnpore was a great industrial city, the 'Manchester of the East'. Yet only fifty years earlier the devastation of the Indian Mutiny had swept away both its pioneering families and their achievements. This second volume of Zoe Yalland's history traces the rapid development of the city in the latter part of the nineteenth century, concentrating on its non-official inhabitants. The author draws on previously unpublished letters, diaries and industrial records to create an understanding of the hardships and triumphs that went into the creation of the towering mill chimneys of Cawnpore.

As rich and varied as India itself, these accounts bring to the reader the Indian perspective on the British Raj. Included are the memories and experiences of more than fifty Indian men and women who worked under the British, made friends with them, and then fought to throw them out. They describe the role of apprentice under the sahibs, the complex racial barriers that divided the rulers from the ruled, the Western education which eventually encouraged rebellion, and the ways in which liberal British political arguments were turned against the Raj by nationalist campaigns to force the British to quit India.
