Will check it out. One of the most interesting facts to me will always remain - that from the borders of present day Iran to present day China - at its peak - there were only 22K Brits in that territory - Hindostan

many such cases even today :D Another thing that people miss out is the kind of Brit who would go into the densest jungles of Bengal & learn the native language doesn’t exist anymore. We wouldn’t have what we know today of India’s history and language without them.
