About The Book : This little volume aims at giving a bird’s- eye view of India’s fighting clans—their origin, their deeds of dash and daring, their past services to Britain, and their part in the Armies of British India and of the Rajas. It makes no pretensions to being an exhaustive study of the organisation of the armies of India, or a complete history of their growth and accomplishments. Apart from the limitations of space and time at my disposal, my design has not been to essay such tasks. On the contrary, I have endeavoured to give a general idea of the extent and quality of Hindostan’s military resources, and thereby supply a lack which has impressed many as unfortunate in the interests of the British Empire, the Oriental Dependency, and the world at large.
