The Defense of Nundakumar: A Reply to James Stephen's Book (1886) is a book written by Keshub Chandra Acharya. The book is a response to James Stephen's book, The Story of Nuncomar and the Impeachment of Sir Elijah Impey. The book is set in colonial India during the British Raj and centers around the trial of Nundakumar, a wealthy Bengali nobleman who was accused of forgery and subsequently executed by the British authorities.

He also criticizes the British legal system and the conduct of the British officials involved in the trial. The book is a passionate defense of Nundakumar and a critique of British colonialism in India.The Defense of Nundakumar is an important historical document that sheds light on the injustices of the British colonial system in India.
