What is the setting of Staying On by Paul Scott?

The story is set in Pankot, India in 1972. Pankot was headquarters for one of the British regiments when they still controlled India, and then became headquarters for an Indian regiment that took over. It is a prosperous area in the hills with a growing tourist industry due to a moderate climate. It is in a transition period at the time of the story; horse drawn tongas mingled with motorcars and indoor plumbing was not universal.
