Book Description

Two Wars, Two Centuries: A Comparative History of the 1857 Rebellion and the 1971 Bangladesh War

What connects a 19th-century colonial uprising to a 20th-century war of liberation? In this comparative history, Dr. Naim Tahir Baig examines two of South Asia's most consequential conflicts-the 1857 Indian Rebellion against British rule and the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War-revealing striking patterns in how empires fall, nations are born, and memories are contested.

Why This Book Matters

For Students of History: This work offers a model of comparative historical analysis, demonstrating how examining conflicts across time periods enriches our understanding of patterns in imperial governance, resistance movements, and post-conflict transitions.

For South Asian Studies Scholars: The book provides the first comprehensive comparative treatment of these two pivotal conflicts, integrating insights from military, political, social, cultural, and international history.

For General Readers: Written with clarity and narrative power, the book makes complex historical events accessible while never sacrificing intellectual rigor or the dignity of those who lived through these conflicts.

For Contemporary Relevance: Understanding these historical conflicts illuminates present-day challenges in South Asia, including ongoing debates about nationalism, the legacy of Partition, war crimes accountability, and the role of historical memory in contemporary politics.
