Abstract

Abstract Ever since its accession in 1849, Punjab had been received explicit attention in the colonial policies on account of its strategic and political importance to the British Empire. The colonial rule had brought a slew of transformations in the diverse fields such as education, agriculture, transport and communication and social institutions. The building of military infrastructure in Punjab was one of them, which got the primary position in the military calculus of British empire. It had played very crucial role in the maintaining, sustaining and escalating the colonial rule at various places. After the 1857 revolt, Punjab had acquired a significant place in the British geostrategic calculus and became a gargantuan recruitment ground for the British Indian Army.
