Question

how was the army organised after the first war of independence? points plz

Answer 1

The Indian Army , often known since 1947 but rarely during its existence citation needed as the British Indian Army to distinguish it from the current Indian Army, was the principal military of the British Indian Empire before its decommissioning in 1947. It was responsible for the defence of both British Indian Empire and the princely states,[1] which could also have their own armies.[2] The Indian Army was an important part of the British Empire's forces, both in India and abroad, particularly during the First World War and the Second World War.

Answer 2

The Indian army was thoroughly organized after 1858, most of all to check the recurrence of another revolution. The rulers had recognized that their knives were the only secure organization of their rule.

Several steps were taken to depreciate, if not entirely eradicate, the position of Indian soldiers to revolution. First, the command of the army by its European branch was carefully ensured.

The proportion of Westerners to Indians in the army was increased and fixed at one to two in the Bengal army and two to five in the Madras and Bombay infantry. Further, the European bands were kept in essential geographical and military situations.

The crucial departments of the battery like artillery and, later in the twentieth century, vessels and armored corps were put particularly in European instructions. The older policy of prohibiting Indians from the manager corps was surely preserved.
