"Observations on the Disturbances in the Madras Army in 1809" by John Malcolm is a historical account written in the early 19th century. The work provides a detailed examination of the conflicts and unrest within the Madras Army, reflecting on complex political, military, and social dynamics during a tumultuous period in British India. Malcolm, a lieutenant colonel in the Honourable East India Company’s Madras Army, seeks to clarify his own role and defend his character against perceived injustices stemming from government decisions. The opening of the work establishes Malcolm's intent to address the controversies that followed the unrest among army officers. He explains the backstory of discontent that had been brewing within the Madras Army, rooted in issues of unequal allowances and perceived favoritism toward British officers. It highlights a significant incident involving Major Boles and Colonel Capper, whose suspensions sparked widespread indignation and ultimately led to a violent uprising. Malcolm meticulously lays out key events, illustrating the breakdown of trust and communication between the officers and the government, while calling attention to the need for greater understanding and negotiated resolutions in military governance.
