There's a good search facility and plenty of info!

BACSA, the British Association for Cemeteries in South Asia,  was set up in 1976 to care for, and to record, European cemeteries wherever the East India Company set foot. It is estimated that some two million European men, women and children are buried in the Indian subcontinent alone.
