How did the Sepoy Rebellion disprove the claims made
in Clive's letter?
A small force from home will be sufficient (to divide and
conquer India), as we are always sure to have any number
we please of Indian troops, who, being both much better
paid and treated by us than by their own country's
powers, will very readily enter our service.
-Robert Clive
Letter to the prime minister
1759
O Few Indian troops ever joined to serve with the
British.
Indian troops fought against the British because
they felt poorly treated.
Indian troops refused to fight a battle that would
have won India for Britain.
