by The Time Queen Victoria Came To The Throne, India – Some 1,600,000 Square Miles, Ranging From Soaring Mountains To Deserts And Jungle Swamps, Populated By 400,000,000 People With A Kaleidoscope Of Different Cultures And Religions – Was Firmly In The Grip Of A Handful Of British East India Company Administrators, Either Ruling Directly Or Through Indian Nominees. However, The Company's Search For A Policy In Western India Embroiled It In A String Of Military Campaigns, Including One Of The Worst Disasters Ever To Befall A British Army.
