Indianisation




In the Indian police, the rank of Deputy Superintendent was introduced to prepare Indian officers for promotion to higher rank.

In the Indian Army , certain Battalion s were selected to be Indianised. They were reorganised on the British Army model, with King's Commissioned Indian Officer s at every officer level and Indian Warrant Officer s replacing Viceroy's Commissioned Officer s.

Indianisation was introduced in the 1920s , but was suspended at the outbreak of the Second World War , at which point only a handful of military units had been Indianised. The process was never reintroduced, as in 1947 India became independent and Indian officers immediately started to fill senior appointments.
