The Sepoy Mutiny

I want to dust the old and pale files and the flaps Of the British period police stations To write my thesis On the Indian war of independence Or the sepoy mutiny, The mustache-twirling Indian sepoys Revolting against, Gone berserk Or inspired by the idea of nationalism Backfiring the British? The files of the British officers on the horse-backs Or in police jeeps later on, Searching the nationalists not, But the Gandhian freedom fighters And the Tommy too were reined in At a later stage To search the Indian villages ruthlessly And the commonly people running for cover, Fleeing the villages.
