Making of Colonial Lucknow, 1856-1877

Examining the history of Lucknow, Oldenburg shows how the results of its transformation after the Mutiny of 1857 continue to pervade the city even today. Challenging conventional views of the extent of British intervention in India after the Mutiny, she contends that the supposedly neutral political, social, economic, and physical changes made in the city at that time constituted aggressive and purposive control of the population, and that these changes continue to be accepted by contemporary Indian administrators.Oldenburg, Veena T. is the author of 'Making of Colonial Lucknow, 1856-1877', published 1990 under ISBN 9780195624731 and ISBN 0195624734.
