Indian Cavalry Units

Indian Cavalry Units are specialized military formations that use soldiers on horseback, traditionally for reconnaissance, flanking maneuvers, and rapid assaults. Originating during the Mughal Empire, these units have evolved through India's history, playing crucial roles in various conflicts, including World Wars and modern military operations. Today, they are part of the Indian Army, combining cavalry traditions with modern technology, often operating armored vehicles. Their versatility and speed make them an essential component of India’s defense strategy, adapting to both conventional warfare and peacekeeping missions.
