This is a study of an aspect of the ethnohistory of North Indian
peasant society: the importance of its military labour market for
state and sect formation, for social change as well as for the
energetic survival strategies of the villages of Hindustan. It
traces the history of the British Indian sepoy to at least as far
back as the fifteenth century, firmly rooting him in India's
medieval past. It also shows that, from the anthropological point
of view, not the hierarchically arranged castes, but the multiple
alliances and fluid identities of the peasantry were the central
phenomena of North Indian politics and decision making.
