Abstract
In 2007, India celebrated the 150th anniversary of "India's First War of Independence" event which is called by the British the "Sepoy Mutiny" These two different denominations reflect a deep opposition regarding the Rebellion and emphasize the political character of the Rebellion. Considered logically as a mere mutiny by the Europeans in favor of the colonization, it became a war for freedom for politicians, poets and writers who were committed in India's fight for independence or against colonization. Nowadays, this interpretation is part of India's official history. Indeed, the issue of the interpretation of the Rebellion, which is the first great movement against a colonial authority in the world is highly important and can be a tool for political and historical legitimization for the first independence's militant and for Indian State.
