The Sepoys and the Company: Tradition and Transition in Northern India 1770-1830

The Sepoys and the Company: Tradition and Transition in Northern India 1770-1830 by Seema Alavi
English | December 17, 1998 | ISBN: 0195645952 | 340 pages | PDF | 48,01 Mb

Alavi examines the factors used by the British when forming the East India Company's Bengal Army in the period 1770-1830. These factors, such as knship groups, diet, and caste as well as financial incentives offered by pension schemes and invalid pay, provided a loyal high-status army
for the emerging colonial authority.
