Though there were official observations, the Left decided on this parallel observations to bring out various hitherto unknown aspects of the uprising.  This series of observations has been eventful in the sense that it brought various aspects hitherto unknown, in terms of spread of the uprising, the impact it has on the laying the foundations for the subsequent evolution of a pan-Indian nationalism, and the immense and profound impact it had on the evolution of folk culture and connected imagery.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuch a need in fact arises from the scrupulous effort made by the British to erase records and chronicles of the uprising and to seek to eliminate it from people's memory.  In the face of this, the consequent dissertations of India's history of its struggles against foreign rule laid the basis for colonial historical writings.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt was therefore necessary to reconstruct this glorious chapter in the history of the Indian people's struggle for freedom.  As has been noted in this series, 1857 was probably the biggest and the most powerful people's uprising anywhere in the world against colonial occupation in the nineteenth century.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere is another important reason for these series.  This has to do with the manner in which British colonialism adapted itself to controlling and continuing its occupation of India. This in turn has had an impact on the evolution of Indian politics itself.  Some of the political battles being waged today in fact stem from the seeds sown by the British rule of India post 1857.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eContents\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction                                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.  1857 and Syncretic Evolution                       \u003cbr\u003eSITARAM YECBMY\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2.   1857: In the Hearts and Minds of People            \u003cbr\u003ePRAKASB KARAT\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3.
