History

The city of Bareilly, along with the entire Rohilkhand region, came under the suzerainty of the East India Company in 1801. The Bareilly Cantonment was established in 1811.[1] A small fort was constructed to the south of the city, and a few years later, the cantonment area contained much more buildings in than the entire city.[2]

The city of Bareilly played a major role in the Indian Rebellion of 1857, and as a result, the cantonment saw major damages. When Bareilly was recaptured by the British in 1858, regular British troops were deployed in the cantonment area.[3] The cantonment was then mainly divided into three parts; The Indian Infantry lines were in the eastern part, British Infantry lines and an Indian battalion were in the middle part, while the Artillery lines were stationed in the western part of the cantonment.[3]

gollark: Update update: unfortunately, I cannot achieve low enough validation error to make this actually usable. Probably it would work better if the OCR thing were more accurate (there are issues with spacing), and if I rated memes from a dataset as "good" or "bad" instead of having "good" and "bad" sets from separate places (but this would take too long). I might put the mostly nonfunctional thing on github or something.
gollark: Update on the automatic meme classification thing: after far too much time dealing with various dependencyish issues, my stuff is being run through CLIP and extremely janky OCR then a sentence embedding model. I will begin work on actually implementing a classifier once the script finishes running on everything.
gollark: I mean, it's probably a better metric than picking randomly.
