St. James' Church ( C.N.I )

Lothiyan Marg, Kashmere Gate, Delhi, 110006

Anglican church built from a soldier's battlefield vow, his marble tomb beneath the floor.

This guide to St. James' Church in Delhi opens on a battlefield in Rajasthan in 1800, where a wounded young mercenary named James Skinner lay through the night fighting off jackals, barred from a British commission by his mixed Scottish-Rajput parentage. It follows the vow he made if he survived, and how he built Skinner's Horse into a three-thousand-strong cavalry force mixing Sikhs, Marathas, Rajputs and Rohillas under one command. Listen for how the British who once turned him away came to depend on him.
