Silladar Cavalry
The Silladar Cavalry was a cavalry force of some moment in Indian history traditionally composed of individuals who provide their own arms, as opposed to having them provided for them by any local or central group or command.
The system was extended to the regular cavalry of the Bengal and Bombay Armies in 1861.

The Cavalry of Woe.”
