- Abstract
The book review discusses "Indianization, the Officer Corps, and the Indian Army: The Forgotten Debate, 1817-1917" by Chandar S. Sundaram. The author explores the history of Indian military and the debate surrounding the Indianization of the Officer Corps of the Indian Army during the period of British colonial rule. Sundaram argues that the British policy of Indianization was slow and conservative, and only accelerated during the Second World War due to the threat posed by Japan and Germany. The book provides a critical analysis of British colonial policy in India and its impact on the Indian Army.
