Description

Under the British crown, India's military became a vital link to holding the Empire together. Upon India's independence (and the subsequent division of a mighty army between India and Pakistan), the army continued to be one of the finest inheritances of the Empire. But in India, there has been no single volume that condenses the rich, elaborate history of the Indian army. Ravindra Rathee's research stems from his grandfather's service to the Raj during the Second World War. True to Their Salt is not just a story of war and bloodshed for another country-it is a scholarly survey of the professional layers that involved the running of a military. Rathee examines how Indian soldiers preserved their faith, as well as their frustration at the racism they encountered among their superiors.
