Trust Irregulars and native Punjabis but ‘utterly distrust’ the Bengal Army’s native or ‘regular’ contingents. Bring the Irregulars from the frontier to the interior. Send the Bengal Army Regulars to the frontier—far from Delhi and amidst the Pashtuns who have no love for them. Where possible disarm the Regulars; if mutiny occurs, destroy them on the spot; if they take to flight, ‘raise the native populations against them and hunt them down’.

Find out the Sikh chiefs living in your district and enlist onto your side their martial instincts and their natural hatred of the Hindustanis. Collect camels and beasts of burden at suitable points, so that the troops moving to the front may face the enemy in the best possible condition. Concentrate bodies of mounted police. Arrest every wandering Fakir, guard every ferry, examine every Sepoy’s letter. Remain calm.98
