he Mutiny and British Land Policy in North India, 1856–1868 is a historical study that examines the relationship between colonial land policies and the outbreak and aftermath of the Indian Rebellion of 1857. The book focuses on how British administrative and agrarian reforms affected rural society in North India during a critical period of political upheaval.

It explores the economic and social impact of land revenue systems, property rights, and settlement policies introduced by the British East India Company and later the British Crown.
