All these pre-War armoured cars equipped with machine guns only goes to show the brute military suppression which the British had to exercise to keep control of certain parts of the country by sheer brute force.

one should also remember that a vast majority of the fighting forces of the British armies in India and Africa, were the native population, not foreigners.

Found a very informative blog on the Armored cars. Posting the India specific ones here, the pictures are self explanatory.

"The men who have been sent to garrison the outposts of Empire would undoubtedly have chosen, if the choice had been theirs, to take their chances on the European battlefields with the Allies." E.F. Charlesworth recorded much of what he saw from the moment he boarded the ship in Southampton. His camera documented the life of British soldiers in India, their families, the local population, landscapes and landmarks.

On his death these images were passed on to his Grandson Peter, who retains copyright to these rare historical images. The day and month of this image within 1919 is unknown.
