This work examines the factors that the British utilized when forming the East India Company's Bengal Army in the period 1770-1830. Kinship groups, diet, and caste played as important a part as the more practical financial incentives provided by pension schemes and invalid pay, in providing a loyal high-status army for the emerging colonial authority.
