Book Synopsis The Sepoys and the Company by : Seema Alavi
Book excerpt: 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.
