Indian Sepoy
(i) A sepoy was formerly the designation given to an Indian soldier. In the modern Nepali, Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi Army it remains in use for the rank of private soldier.
(ii) The British East India Company recruited largely Indian troops, the lowest ranking being the sepoys, and trained them along European lines.
(iii) The term sepoy is derived from the Persian word sepāhī (سپاهی) meaning "infantry soldier" in the Mughal Empire. In the Ottoman Empire the term sipahi was used to refer to cavalry troopers. In its most common application, sepoy was the term used in the British Indian Army, and earlier in that of the British East India Company, for an infantry private (a cavalry trooper was a sowar).
British
(i) The British or the Britons, are the citizens of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the British Overseas Territories, and the Crown dependencies. British nationality law governs modern British citizenship and nationality, which can be acquired, for instance, by descent from British nationals. When used in a historical context, "British" or "Britons" can refer to the Celtic Britons, the indigenous inhabitants of Great Britain and Brittany, whose surviving members are the modern Welsh people, Cornish people and Bretons. It may also refer to citizens of the former British Empire.
(ii) Although early assertions of being British date from the Late Middle Ages, the creation of the united Kingdom of Great Britain in 1707 triggered a sense of British national identity.
(iii) Modern Britons are descended mainly from the varied ethnic groups that settled in the British Isles in and before the 11th century: Prehistoric, Brittonic, Roman, Anglo-Saxon, Norse and Normans.
