Sustaining the Raj: The CID in Colonial India.

This is my second article on the Criminal Investigation Departments (CIDs) in colonial India. The first one was the 'Evolution of the CID in Colonial India and its Induction in Sind,'published in Pakistan Horizon, Vol. 77, issue it 1 of January 2024. It incorporated some details of the evaluation and subsequent developments of the CID in colonial India as well as in Sind. Therefore, to avoid repetition, in this paper, I deal exclusively with the crucial significance of the CID in colonial India, prior to, and during the Second World War, starting with the terrorist movement in India, and then mouing on to the internal structure and working of the CID. Next, I discuss the crucial responsibilities thrust upon the CID due to the Second World War, indicating the handling and performance in monitoring and control of German and Japanese intrigues in India.
