I'm not saying there weren't any Indos in the police, military or civil service, especially in the Burham days. But generally, and on the whole, it was frowned upon by Indos who preferred their kids to become doctors, lawyers, engineers, accountants, and teachers. There was a saying the Indo community during the Burham days that "police wok was daag wok".

the culture of indos at that time was that when you could'nt cut it academically, then you were only fit to be in the army and police.

...and even if you couldn't cut it academically it was deemed better to graze a cow, plant rice/cane, or fish for a living than to join the police or army.
