This book explores the role played by the British perceptions on Indian culture and Indian soldiers in the formation of English East India Company's sepoy army in the second half of the 18th century. It examines the influence of British perceptions on the sepoy's place from the barrack room to the battlefield, demonstrating that prejudice was a cornerstone in the making of the Company's Indian Army.
