Details
The Bengal Army was the army of the Presidency of Bengal, one of the three presidencies of British India. Although based in Bengal in north-eastern India, the presidency stretched across northern India and the Himalayas all the way to the North-West Frontier Province. The Bengal Army included some of the most famous units in India: Skinner's Horse from Bengal, the Gurkhas from the Himalayas and the Corps of Guides on the North-West Frontier. The presidency armies, like the presidencies themselves, belonged to the East India Company until the Indian Rebellion of 1857, when the British Crown took over all three presidencies. Of the 67,000 Hindus in the Bengal Army in 1842, 28,000 were identified as Rajputs and 25,000 as Brahmins, a category that included Bhumihar Brahmins. The Brahmin presence in the Bengal Army was reduced in the late nineteenth century because of their perceived primary role as mutineers in the Indian Mutiny, led by Mangal Pandey.
