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.
