Hodson's career received praise from a number of senior military commanders, such as General Hugh Gough, but there were dissenting voices from other members of the military. There were also politicians who felt the killing of Mughal princes by Hodson had been "dishonourable". However, Hodson's career received praise from more senior politicians including the prime minister and the secretary of state for India. Hodson is credited with being jointly responsible for the introduction of the first khaki uniforms in the Indian army. (en)
