The Moslem and the Hindoo; a Poem on the Sepoy Revolt” (also known as The Sepoy Rebellion) by John Henry Jr. Hopkins is a mid-19th-century narrative poem that reflects British colonial perspectives on the 1857 uprising in India. The poem contrasts the "crafty Moslem" and the "weak Hindoo" sepoys under British rule, portraying them as subjects of exploitation and manipulation. It criticizes British hypocrisy, highlighting their support for pagan rituals while enforcing Christian dominance. The narrative depicts the rebellion as a catastrophic outburst of pent-up rage, vividly portraying brutal insurgency and atrocity. Yet ultimately, the poem frames the British military response as a morally redemptive act, restoring order and advancing Christian truth.

John Henry Hopkins Jr. (1820–1891) was an American clergyman, hymnodist, and ecclesiastical scholar, best known for composing the Christmas carol “We Three Kings of Orient Are” in 1857. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, he graduated from the University of Vermont and studied at the General Theological Seminary in New York City, where he was ordained a deacon in 1850. Hopkins served as the seminary’s first music teacher from 1855 to 1857 and later as rector of Trinity Church in Plattsburgh, New York, and Christ Episcopal Church in Williamsport, Pennsylvania. He also founded and edited the Church Journal from 1853 to 1868. In 1885, he delivered the eulogy at President Ulysses S. Grant’s funeral. Hopkins died in Hudson, New York, and was buried next to his father in Burlington, Vermont. His nephew, Charles Filkins Sweet, authored a biography titled A Champion of the Cross, detailing Hopkins’ life and contributions.
