2nd Maratha Light Cavalry

The 2nd Maratha Light Cavalry was a prominent cavalry regiment in the British Indian Army, formed in the 1850s. It was made up primarily of soldiers from the Maratha community, known for their excellent horsemanship and skills in light cavalry tactics. The regiment saw action in various campaigns, including the Second Anglo-Afghan War and World War I. They were recognized for their agility and speed on horseback, playing crucial roles in reconnaissance and skirmishes. The 2nd Maratha Light Cavalry was eventually disbanded in the early 1930s as military reforms were implemented in colonial India.
