The Colonial Tour

Agra’s British Footprints

Agra

“The Cantonments during the British Raj were strategic military settlements established to house British troops and their families, reflecting a blend of colonial lifestyle and military discipline. Typically located on the outskirts of major towns, these areas were meticulously planned, featuring well-maintained bungalows, officer’s messes, parade grounds, and churches. Life in a cantonment was hierarchical, with a sharp divide between the British officers and Indian sepoys, who lived in separate quarters. Social gatherings, polo matches, and evening soirees added a distinct charm to the officers’ lives. These cantonments were self-sufficient hubs, embodying the British administration’s efforts to maintain their control while subtly influencing local culture.”
