商品簡介
The Indian Army was organizationally modernized and "Indianized" by the British in the first half of the 20th century. Arguing against world systems theories of this modernization being dictated by imperial needs, Barua (history, U. of Nebraska at Kearney) explores the doctrinal and organizational evolution of the army and its increasingly Indian-staffed officer corps. The army emerges in these pages as a more independent organization than has previously been argued, relatively free from the influences of both the British army and Indian nationalists.
