About this product

Product Information

The author examines the factors used by the British when forming the East India Company's Bengal Army in the period 1770-1830. Kinship groups, diet and caste played as important a part as the more practical financial incentives offered by pension schemes and invalid pay in providing a loyal high-status army for the emerging colonial authority.
