The partition of India in 1947 brought about the end of a notable period in the history of that sub-continent, for it saw the end of direct guidance and control by the British, a phase of the spreading of Western civilization begun in the trading days of the sixteenth century. From those early days, through the years up to 1947, the few military guardians gradually increased in numbers to vast armies with manifold origins and sources having a great effect on the history and growth of what was known as India. Yet much remains to be written and correlated regarding facts and on one special aspect, that of uniform. Little has appeared in print, least of all a general and comprehensive work covering all branches of the Presidential and other forces.
