The Indian Army was one of the most important colonial institutions
that the British created. From its humble origins as a mercantile
police force to a modern contemporary army in the Second World War,
this institution underwent many transitions. This book examines the
Indian Army during the later colonial era from the First Afghan War
in 1839 to Indian independence in 1947. During this period, the
Indian Army developed from an internal policing force, to a
frontier army, and then to a conventional western style fighting
force capable of deployment to overseas' theaters. These
transitions resulted in significant structural and doctrinal
changes in the army. The doctrines, and tactics honed during this
period would have a dramatic impact upon the post-colonial armies
of India and Pakistan. From civil-military relations to fighting
and structural doctrines, the Indian and Pakistani armies closely
reflect the deep-seated impact of decades of evolution during the
late colonial era.
