Summary "The Sepoy" by Edmund Candler is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed examination of the different classes of soldiers in the Indian Army, known as sepoys, particularly during World War I and in the context of military campaigns in Mesopotamia. The author aims to portray the various types of sepoys through firsthand accounts and sketches, shedding light on their unique qualities, experiences, and the camaraderie between Indian soldiers and their British officers. The opening of "The Sepoy" sets the stage for an exploration of the Indian soldier's mindset and characteristics, emphasizing the diverse backgrounds from which they come. Candler shares his observations from his time in Mesopotamia, where he encountered various types of sepoys, including Gurkhas, Sikhs, and Punjabis. In this introductory section, he discusses the significant role that factors such as training, loyalty, and personal relationships with their British officers play in defining the identity and performance of these soldiers. Through vivid descriptions and anecdotal evidence, he begins to unravel the complexities of their psychology and the rich tapestry of their cultural heritage that impacts their contributions to the Indian Army.
