as a guess I can,t see how the brits could keep records for all Indians with such a vast number of people and area to cover , a good place to start is do a google search for british in india lots of sites come up from which I,m sure you can glean historical info .

There are many records on Family Search for India. The databases are online and are quite comprehensive. It might be worth a look.

Do you live in London?  The British Library in Euston run training sessions on tracing your ancestors in India.  They are really interesting and are also free.
