We call it the War of Independence, but that's to be expected.

India's no longer under British rule - I think they get to pick whatever name they want

Yes, but it's only know as "The War for Independence" here. Everywhere else it's the "Indian Mutiny" or some version thereof.

eh, from what I've read about the Indian government, I'm not sure - if I was Indian - which I'd prefer to be ruled by [ being an American, and seeing our gov, I think being ruled by the East India Tea Co or whatever might be better ! ]
