Rudrangshu Mukherjee is a renowned historian and author. He has taught history at the University of Calcutta and has held visiting appointments at Princeton University, the University of Manchester, and the University of California, Santa Cruz. He previously served as Editor of the Editorial Pages at The Telegraph, Kolkata.

Educated at Calcutta Boys' School, Presidency College (Kolkata), Jawaharlal Nehru University (New Delhi), and St. Edmund Hall, Oxford, he received his D.Phil. in Modern History from the University of Oxford in 1981.

Mukherjee is internationally acclaimed as a leading historian of the Indian Revolt of 1857. His first book, Awadh in Revolt, 1857-58: A Study of Popular Resistance (1984), has become a standard reference on the subject.

(2005), Dateline 1857: Revolt Against the Raj (2008), and The Year of Blood: Essays on 1857 (2014).

In addition to his work on 1857, Mukherjee has authored and edited numerous books on a wide range of themes, including The Penguin Gandhi Reader (1993), Politics and Trade in the Indian Ocean World: Essays in Honour of Ashin Das Gupta (1999), Remembered Childhood: Essays in Honour of André Béteille (2010), New Delhi: The Making of a Capital (2009), Great Speeches of Modern India (2011), Nehru & Bose: Parallel Lives (2014), Twilight Falls on Liberalism (2018), Oxford India Short Introduction: Jawaharlal Nehru (2018), Changing India, Vol. V, Part I & II: The Prime Minister Speaks (2019), Tagore and Gandhi: Walking Alone, Walking Together (2021), A Begum and a Rani: Hazrat Mahal and Lakshmibai in 1857 (2021), The Best of Tagore (2023), and A New History of India: From Its Origins to the Twenty-First Century (2023).
