Proposed substitution of Indian Police
at Bahrain by Sudanese.
Sir,
With reference to paragraph 1 of your letter No.597-S of
1930, dated the 25th October 1930, I am directed to inform you
that in the circumstances the Government of India have
recommended to the Secretary of State that the question of
substituting Sudanese for India Police at Bahrain need not be
pursued further. A copy of the communication made to the India
Office is enclosed.
2. As regards the Bahrain State proposal to reduce the
number of Indians in the police from 85 to 50 and replace them
by local men as suitable recruits become available, I am to
say that the Government of India have no objection to this
- provided that the efficiency of the service is not affected.
I have the honour to be.
Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
Additional Deputy Secretary to the Government of India.

About this item
- Content
This file contains correspondence regarding the development of the armed police force in Bahrain between the years 1930 and 1944.
The documents discuss the British authorities' desire to reduce the number of Indians employed in the police force and make it appear less noticeably 'foreign'. Various other reforms and training initiatives during this period are also discussed.
A full, detailed report from 1940 entitled 'A Report on the Bahrain Police with Suggestions for their improvement' is contained on ff. 70-167a.
The file also contains detailed instructions regarding protocol for the use of force by the police against crowds (notably the use of firearms against illegal assemblies) and documents containing a broader discussion of the nature of Britain's role in Bahrain.
