This wasn't unique to India but the British army did use what they called a "forlorn hope" as the first wave in attacking a fortress. Most were expected to die, but the survivors were often promoted.

As exploitive as it sounds, given that someone had to attack in the first wave at least this seemed to match the rewards with the risk?

I think you have to look at it in a broader context - who was going to benefit from the fighting?
