It is one of so much importance, and so much discussion has taken place regarding it, that it is desirable that we should show in detail what has been done. The following memorandum has been prepared for this purpose by Dr. C. A. Gordon, one of the members of our Commission. There can, we think, be no doubt that when the orders issued by the Government during the past year have been completely carried into effect, hardly anything will remain to be done for the improvement of the diet of the troops. "Since 1853, the daily ration of the soldier in India has consisted of the following articles, namely: --Bread lib. Meat 1 Vegetables-1 Rice--------4 ozs. Sugar 2 Tea- Salt--1 In "In 1864, a few modifications in the quantities of some of these items were authorised. These will be alluded to hereafter; but it is desirable that, for the present, we consider the ration as it existed at the time the Royal Commission on the Sanitary state of the Army in India was sitting. "The meat ration consists of beef during five days per week, and mutton on the two remaining, as had been the case for several years previous. The meat to be cut up in joints, the ribs and upper joints of the fore legs excluded. The bread to be of the best quality, and equal to that provided for hospital diet. The vegetables to be such as are procurable at different stations, and in different seasons. The ration of tea to consist, as a rule, of one-third green, and two-third black.

Book Description
This book focuses on the entwinement of politics and medicine and power and knowledge in India during the age of empire. Using the powerful metaphor of ‘pathology’ - the science of the origin, nature, and course of diseases - the author develops and challenges a burgeoning literature on colonial medicine, moving beyond discussions of state medicine and the control of epidemics to everyday life, to show how medicine was a fundamental ideology of empire. Related to this point, and engaging with postcolonial histories of biopower and modernity, the book highlights the use of this racially grounded medicine in the formulation of modern selves and subjectivities in late colonial India. In tracing the cultural determinants of biological race theory and contextualizing the understanding of race as pathology, the book demonstrates how racialism was compatible with the ideologies and policies of imperial liberalism. Medicine, Race and Liberalism in British Bengal brings together the study of modern South Asia, race theory, colonialism and empire and the history of medicine. It highlights the powerful role played by the idea of ‘pathology’ in the rationalization of imperial liberalism and the subsequent projects of modernity embraced by native experts in Bengal in the ‘long’ nineteenth century.
