Rajanikanta Gupta (1849 -1900) had no formal college education. He started his career as an assistant to Bhudeb Mukhopadhyay. He progressively wrote several textbooks on Indian History. He has also written a biography of Panini. His other works included a composition on the history of the Sepoy Mutiny (Sipdhi Yuddher Itihas) in Bengali Language. It is one of the earliest comprehensive and formal history of the Mutiny in any vernacular language. The first volume of it had been published in 1879; the fifth volume was completed just prior to his death.
The features of his works are use of metaphors, arrangement of paragraphs, placement of pauses and a narrative unique. It is shown that the over-arching imperial rule is beneficial and modernity under Queen Victoria is end of civilization. However the sepoys were tragic heroes, misguided and violent though honest to their beliefs.
