The category of ‘military labour’ has traditionally been used to designate ‘combat labour’ – the labour of soldiers. Focusing on the case of early modern South Asia, the present essay argues that this equivalence is misplaced and that it is a product of a distorted view of war defined primarily in terms of combat. The essay discusses the roles played by the logistical workforce of Mughal armies in conducting military campaigns and facilitating imperial expansion. It calls for broadening the category of ‘military labour’ to include all types of labour rendered consciously towards the fulfilment of military objectives.

什么是军事劳动?近代南亚的战争,后勤和穆加尔人

传统上,“军事劳动”一词被用来指“战斗劳动”,即士兵的劳动。本文着眼于近代南亚早期的情况,认为这种对等是放错了地方,这是对主要是在战斗方面定义的对战争的扭曲看法的产物。本文讨论了莫卧儿军队的后勤工作人员在进行军事运动和促进帝国扩张方面的作用。它呼吁扩大“军事劳动”的类别,以包括为实现军事目标而有意识地提供的所有类型的劳动。
