Insurgency of Titu Meer A Brief History of Wahabi Movement Down to the Death of Saiyid Ahmad by Rudrapratap Chattopadhyaya

Insurgency of Titu Meer A Brief History of Wahabi Movement Down to the Death of Saiyid Ahmad by Rudrapratap Chattopadhyaya is a history of a Wahabi sect that was involved in an insurgency first against the Hindus and later the ruling British in the 19th century. The insurgency itself is dealt with in a rather short section. Most of the book is devoted to a discussion of the rise of fundamentalist Islam specifically Wahabi practices.

After the insurgents were defeated in pitched battle they were dealt with through normal British legal channels. One receiving the death penalty 11 receiving light sentences and the rest receiving sentences of seven years or less.

An interesting work on an unknown insurgency within North American counterinsurgency circles.
