Q. Which among the following terms was used for the Royal cavalry of the Maratha Army System?
Answer: The Bargirs
Notes: In the traditional Maratha Army system, the term "Bargir" was dedicated to the Royal cavalry. There were mainly two types of cavalry, the Bargirs and the Shiledars. The Bargirs were distinguished as their horses were provided by the state itself and were considered property of the royal household. Hence, they enjoyed the special privilege of their horses being maintained by the state.
