Manohar British Military Policy in India 1900-1945 Colonial Constraints and Declining Power by Anirudh Deshpande
This socio-political history of the colonial Indian military organization investigates why reform remained largely theoretical even as the British used Indian resources to defend a weakening empire through two World Wars. Ultimately World War II transformed the Indian armed forces but eventually, as this book asserts, this transformation worked against the British.
