Abstract
Punjab has undergone drastic changes and transformations during the British rule. With the closing of the second Anglo-Sikh War, Punjab had taken over by the British in 1849. With the becoming of British Province, it received special attention in the colonial policies. Moreover, Punjab had become crucial from its strategic and political implications. As it became a part of the British Empire, Punjab had experienced a lot of transformations in various fields like agriculture, irrigation, education, transport, and communication, etc. This paper is attempted to map the transformations in general and Punjabization of the British Indian Army in particular.
