Summary: Following the Mutiny of 1857, various factors impelled the British to turn to the province of Punjab in north-western India as the principal recruiting ground for the Indian Army. This book examines the processes by which the politics and political economy of colonial Punjab was militarised by the provinces̀ position as the s̀word arm ̀of the Raj.

This led to the emergence of a uniquely civil-military regime, a phenomenon that was not replicated anywhere e.
