520			_aSitaram's autobiography offers us a chronological account of his forty years of service in the army, the narrative texture of which are informed throughout by a deep sense of loyalty to the East India company. In some places the situation assumed truly revolutionary potency. Sitaram's unwavering sympathy with the company appears in stark contrast, perhaps more so when we consider that most Purbiya Brahmins were vocal in their opposition to the British. Yet, Sitaram was seemingly unaffected, Penning his entire memoir as an argument in favour of British power and as a swan song to the glories of empire' explicitly branding rebel soldiers traitors.
