• Das neue Lager hat die Bezeichnung Nr. 17 behalten. Bei dem letzten Besuch des Schweizerischen Schutzmachtvertreters vom 15. bis 17. September 1942 befanden sich in diesem Lager 1.108 deutsche Internierte. Das Lager ist in vier Abteilungen eingeteilt:  mehr
  
• Im Frühjahr 1943 dachte Schmaderer ernstlich an baldige Flucht. Diese gelang ihm auch im Mai. Aber schon nach drei Wochen kam er wieder zurück. Oben an der Jummna war er von Eingeborenen verhaftet und der Polizei übergeben worden. mehr   
• Dieser Versuch in die Berge zu gehen, war nichts anderes als eine Reaktion auf die Enge des Lagers, ein Auflehnen gegen das körperliche und geistige Erlahmen durch das Einerlei des Gefangenenlebens. Fast zwei Jahre vergingen. Da sollten 20 Internierte, die im Laufe der Jahre aus dem Lager geflohen waren, in ein anderes Lager versetzt werden, und zwar nach Deoli. Gelegen in Rajputana, am Rande der Wüste, hatte es nicht gerade den besten Namen.  mehr
  
• Kopp war die Warterei zu lang geworden. Er zog am 22. November 1944 über Mustang nach Nepal. Bis nach Pokhara kam er gut, ab dort erhielt er eine militärische Eskorte und Mitte Dezember erreichte er Kathmandu. Hier waren überall Engländer und trotz der offiziellen Neutralität Nepals wurde seinem Wunsch nach Asyl nicht entsprochen. Das entsprach einer Auslieferung. Am fünften Tag seiner Ankunft in Kathmandu empfingen ihn Maharadscha und Premierminister, bestätigten ihm aber nochmals die Ablehnung seines Asylantrages aus politischen Gründen. Am 25. Dezember wurde er wieder in Dehra Dun eingeliefert. Im April 1945 wurde er dann zusammen mit allen, die bisher einen Ausbruchsversuch unternommen hatten, strafverlegt in das Lager Deoli, etwa neunzig Kilometer entfernt von Kotta. Alle Vergünstigungen, die es in Dehra Dun gegeben hatte, fielen weg, eine erneute Flucht erschwert. Ende 1945 wurde das Lager aufgelöst.  Quelle
• On 24th March 1945, Schmaderer was undergoing a medical examination outside the wire, ready to be sent to Deoli, a secure camp south west of Agra, with another 22 who had made escape attempts, when he made a run for it. … Even though Deoli in many regards had stricter rules than Dehra Dun, the internees were still permitted to go out of camp on parole once a week and Treipl started going on outdoors painting and drawing sessions with Paidar.  more
  
• The Ramgarh internment for the Dutch East Indies internees turned out to be a temporary stopover, January 13th to July 21st, 1942, because of the Japanese threat on the Burma front and the military needing the cantonment. Thus, a further provisional stay was planned at the Deoli camp, at the edge of the Thar Desert, lasting from July 24th, 1942 through April 19th, 1943. Within the year, the news from British India was: „All 36 missionaries, doctors and deacons of the Rhenish Mission from Sumatra are now located at the Internment Camp of Premnagar at Dehra Dun at the height of 800 metres at the foot of the Himalayas.“ The Rhenish Mission personnel of the Sumatra Batak Church were by far the largest group at Dehra Dun, followed by the six Neukirchner missionaries. In the case of the Basel Mission, it was reported that „in April of the year, the five Borneo brethren at Deoli were also transported there.“ The Deoli Camp, in the State of Ajmer-Merwara, was then used as an Italian ‚prisoners of war‘ settlement, for those brought to India from the African conflict.  more

Auch nach dem II. Weltkrieg wurde Deoli im Indisch-Chinesischen Grenzkrieg als Internierungslager genutzt:

• In October of 1962, at the height of the SIno-India border conflict, the Indian government arrested and interned nearly 3,000 Chinese-Indian and Tibetan-Indian citizens under the accusation of being spies or Communist sympathizers. Chinese-Indians, many from the border region, were imprisoned and later taken to Deoli Camp, a detention camp that had been established under the British Raj. While many of these Chinese-Indian citizens had been living in India for generations, anti-Chinese laws were enacted and anti-Chinese sentiment and rhetoric was widespread across mainstream Indian society.While the internment lasted until 1966 for most internees, the continued anti-Chinese sentiment has had a lasting impact on the Chinese-Indian community. After internment, most citizens were not compensated for the event, property was either occupied by or absorbed by locals during the original owner’s absence, travel restrictions were enacted, and many were forced to maintain and purchase residency permits in order to reside in India. The repercussions of the border conflict have left many Chinese-Indians feeling victimized and disillusioned in terms of their national identity and loyalty to the Indian government.This page is dedicated to raising awareness about the injustices that took place within and beyond the walls of the Deoli Concentration Camp during the 1962 Sino-Indian Conflict. Though many survivors managed to migrate to Canada, the US, Australia, China, and other countries, there is a large population of Chinese-Indian citizens that remain legally unprotected. The Association of India Deoli Camp Internees 1962 was established to bring justice to this event through pressuring the Indian government for a formal apology to the Chinese-Indian citizens and an acknowledgment of the 1962 internment. more in Facebook

History of Deoli Campus

• The district of Kekari, Jaipur and Mewar were often ravaged by the plunders, for this reason an auxiliary force under the name of Kota Contingent was raised in the year around 1844.
  In 1852 the Deoli Cantonment was established by Major Thom. Captain J D MacDonald was sent here from Ajmer in the year 1857 and raised a Meena Battalion, since the old Kota Contingent mutinied in 1857. In 1858, this force was sent on a Kota expedition and distinguished themselves in the siege and capture of Kota. The Tonk-Haraoti Agency was established at Deoli in 1859 upto 1934. In 1903, the ―Deoli Irregular Force‖ now distinguished as 42nd Deoli Regiment of Kota Contingent, commonly known as Meena Battalion stationed at Deoli.
  The 42nd Battalion Regiment participated in the Great War of 1914 and went on active service. Subsequently, another 43rd Battalion was also raised in June 1917 and sent on active service. Both the battalions distinguished themselves by acts of bravery in 1919. But as a whole failed to reach Amalgamation of 1922, all being disbanded on 10th December, 1921.
  In 1922, Col. A.G.M. Hogg formed the Meena Corps Deoli. And again in 1931 the Regiment stands disband and replaced by Royal Garhwal Rifle in 1932, who were deployed here to look after the security duty of the detention camp, in which number of Bengali leaders of Chittagong Armoury Case were detained during that period of freedom movement.
  When the Quit India movement started, the camp was reopened again in the year 1940, then the ex-president of Pakistan General Ayub Khan was the Commandant during the period for the soldiers of Royal Garhwal Rifles Contingent.
  In 1942, CRP known as Crown Representative Police was called from Neemuch for the guard duties for the detained leaders, namely Shri Rahul Sankritanam, Shri S. S Battlewala, Shri Jayprakash Narayan, Shri S.K. Dange, Shri Sudhir Bose, Shri Keshav Dev Malviya, Shri Harish Dev Malviya etc. at Deoli camp.
  In 1942, war prisoners of Germany, Japan and Italy were also kept here. In 1948 this camp was reopened and named as Sindhi Refugees Camp, where large numbers of refugees from Karachi were sheltered here during the partition. In 1957, 4th Battalion of CRPF was stationed here. In 1962, this was made into Chinese detention camp, where detainees were kept. Later, in 1967 the Pakistani prisoners of war were brought here and detained upto October 1968. In 1969, the refugees of Bangladesh were again sheltered at this camp during Bangladesh liberation struggle. … more
