message: " In 1942 there were 597 Indians and 588 British; most of the latter left at the time of independence."
For someone like me (not knowing much about the issue) this is confusing. I would expect the ICS to consist of many thousands of workers. I guess that there must be an upper class of civil servants, and then a number of people working for the organization ICS in various ways (janitors, secretaries, "peons", etc.)? A little bit of context is necessary here, I think...?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.225.198.194 (talk) 07:34, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the ICS was very much the upper tier of administration, like the historical Home Civil Service. Moonraker (talk) 13:52, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: "In 1942 there were 597 Indians and 588 British; most of the latter left at the time of independence." - in 1942 both categories were British subjects, after independence the 'British' had different citizenship from the 'Indians' and were likely no longer eligible to serve in the ICS.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.247.9 (talk) 18:04, 5 January 2018 (UTC)

message: The article states that
"In the first decades of the twentieth century, the imbalance in salaries and emoluments was so great that 8,000 British officers together earned a total of £13,930,554, while 130,000 Indians in government service (not just those in the Indian Civil Service proper) were collectively paid a total of £3,284,163."
It sources these numbers from this article, which attributes this information to J.T. Sunderland. The article itself does not cite a source, but the article's author, Shashi Tharoor, makes the same claim in his book "An Era of Darkness: The British Empire in India". The source he cites in this book is J.T. Sunderland's "India in Bondage: Her Right to Freedom and a Place Among the Great Nations". I could not, however, find any mention of these numbers in the book. I did not find them in any of J.T. Sunderland's articles in Young India either. As far as I could find, the only source mentioning those numbers is Shashi Tharoor himself. MaquinaDeAnsiedade (talk) 22:41, 12 April 2024 (UTC)
