This is a study of an aspect of the ethnohistory of north Indian peasant society; the importance of its military market for state and sect formation, for social changes as well as for the energetic survival strategies of the villages of Hindustan. It traces the history of the British Indian Sepoy to at least as far back as the fifteenth century, firmly rooting him in India`s medieval past. It also shows that from the anthropolotical point of view, not the higerarchically arranged castes, but the multiple alliances and fluid identities of the peasantry were the central phenomena of north Indian politics and decision making.
