known as Kashmir" or Siiilkoti paper and, as a rule,' the sheets'

Secretariat rooms. There was nothing to
indicate either the subject or the chronological order of these
bundles; even the papers comprised in each bundle were utterly
disarranged, ami the want of continueus and consecutive paging
of the papers rtlndered the task of arraugement more diflicult.
My first attempt was, therefore, to subject the entire contents of
these shelves to a preliminary examination and to draw up for
my own lL~e a, rough list of the whole collection. I had then to
80rt these bundles by subjects in a chronological and consecutive
order and accordingly prepared another list showing these particulars. Only when these preliminaries were over, could I com
mence and take in hand the work of actual arram,e)"(ent and
classification and I have now after a thol'Oug)l. examination of
these bundles grouped them in the following four main heads in
referenoe to the subjeot matter : (1) dajtar jauj-re\ating to the army.
(2) " mal-relsting to the genel'al revenues.
(3) " tosha1hiina --relating to royal wardrobe and the
King's privy purse.
(4) " jagiral-reJating to the jag?:,. accounts.
It is proposed to issue the catalogue in three volumes'Volume I, comprising Jmudles relating to the army; Volume II
comprising bundles relating to the general revenues' and
volume III, comprising hUJl(Ues relating to the toshiih:ha~a aud
jagir accounts.
The volume now issued oontains a summary catalogue of
66 bundles pertaining to dajta .. jalJ; or the Mili.
tary Department. These papers fall in three
sections, "ia. -(I) boraflJtlrd tagsi'm lalab or the pay rolls. .A specimen .

branches also. run from the corresponding dates.
It is necessary to. state that the papers relating to the two
branches of the army prIor to the dates above noted will be dealt
with in Volume II ef the present series. This plan has been
adopted with a view to maintaining the original arrangement of
the recerds. Before the separate dajtars for the two branches
were erganized in Sambat years 1876 (1819 A.D.) lind 1901 (1844
A.D.) respectively, all the military records were kept in the same
bundles along with those relating to the general revenues, where
they have accordingly been allowed to. remain.

REGULAR ARMY.
TIlE faujoiifn or regular army of Ranjit Singh consisted,
I trod I
prinoipally, of infantry and a.rtillely, trained
n
.c ory.
in EUl'opean methods of drill. The entire
cavalry, eJi:cepting a few regiments of dragoons and lancers trained
by General Allard, was essentially composed of the gnorcliariihs
01' irregular horse.
The use of artillery and the employment of large masses
Hi Ie
of disciplined infantry were recent innoo ry.
mtions in the Indian system of warfare.
The Mughals, the Marhattas and the Sikhs were aJl accustomed
to fight on horseback only, they despised foot soldiers, and in
artillery they never became proficient. It was not till the middle
of the l8th centlU'Y, when thc French and the English had demonstra.ted the vast supeliol'ity of (lisciplinell infantry, tha.t the
Indian potentates understood the value of this arm and began
to raise battalions with the help of European adventurers who had
found their way iuto Iudia through the Frenoh and English East
India Oompanies. Haidar 'Ali, liadhoji Sindhia and Jaswant
Rao Holkar first took the initi,ttive, and partially remodelled
their armies. In the Panjah, howcveT, the old system survived. The country was more 01' less undeT the sway of the
oonfederate Khalsa w110se every member was supposed to be a
horseman. 'rhe military force of the va.rioUB chiefs of this
confederacy was composed essentially of cavalry, for though
some artillery wa.~ also maintainell, it wo.s fal' from properly
managed. The infantl'y, which was held in low estimation,
usually garrisoned the forts, besi(les being employed on
the meaner dut.ies of the sen' ice. It. was only in the beginning
of the nineteenth century, when Ranjit Singh had raised a few
batta.lions of discilllincd infantry, that the Sikhs learned the
value and propel' usc of this arm. Of. all the Sikh ?lIisZdiirs,
Ranjit Singh was the only onc who realised tha.t, with the a.dvent
of the European nations in Iudia, existing taotics had become ineffect.ive, and that oavalry could not long hold out
aga.inst the steady fire of .the gllnner ami the musketee:o
He came to believe tlmt no Indian state, unless it adopted therr
me~hodB, could, ill any oase, nold out against. the E~op.elm
natIOns. He, therefore, took ill hand the remodelling of hlS forcC8
and applied himself to the task with far greater earnestness than
tl~e rulers of Mysore 01' the Marhatta ch!efs had don,: before
h1m; and at last sucoeeded, though not WlthOUt some d.jjIieuity,
in making his people give up their customary order of .battle.
By degrees the infan1;ry servioe ca.ine to be prefe~ed' m the
. :8
Panjab, and Ranjit Singh lived to see it regarded as the proper

warlike array of his people.
In the absence of any direct evidence from the reoords of his
Government,l it is diffioult to ascertain the

:first battalion of regular infantry. On the
evidenoe, however, of the desoripti,e-rolls (dealt with in Part
IV of this volume) one can say with some oonfidence that iu
Bambat 1864 (1807 A.D.) the Maharaja had at least three suoh
battalions in his service, though a year later Mr. (afterwards
Bir) O. Metcalfe, who came to his Court as envoy of the English, "saw five of them in the service of the Raja."
. Bayyid Muhammad Latif in his HI8tory of tlle Panjab
statf>s that the new battalions, known as paltan Najto, together
with top'J),ina IsllrtH l King's Own battery), formed part of the
foroe sent against Ahmad Khan of Jhang in 1803. But following
Sohan Lal-the oourt historian of the Maharaja-one is led to
think that it was J aswant Rao Holk3.l, who first sqggested
the maintenance of regular infantry when he met Ranjit Singh
in 1805 at Amritsar.
From the study of the pay rolls of the earlier yea1's it
C
'II
appears that at first the infantry service was
ompoo. on,
not very popular, In almost all the battalions raised between Sambat 186,1 and 1870 (1807 18.3 A,D.)
the Panjabi element was very meagre, and the hulk of thc regulars
oonsisted of Hindustilnis, GUl'khas aud Mg:hans, who eulisted
in considerable numbers, attracted chiefly by the good pay and
the prospeot of ad v~nture. The gll.orc1w.r,ihs st.i!l looked with
oontempt upon the foot soldier and the proud old chiefs
resented the innovation. But Ranjit Singh, who hnd been much
impresseil with the superiority of European drill, was not
the man to be turned from his purposu. Pl'rseVl.'l'anCe, combined with his usual tact, soon enabled him to ~onquer the
prejudices 01 his people. He began to Show special favour to
the newly-created branoh of the army in every possible way,
He used to attend its parades in person and, as marks of his
pleaBure, he would not infrequently distribute gifts of money a.nd
olotbes to the men with his own hands. For his own. co-religionists,

who joined these ranKs, the conditions OT service in the beginning
were made specially attrartive. Tnstead of being paid at
a fixed mOl1thly rate like other non-Pan)ahi sepoys (for the Sikhs
in the begimling abhorred the vel"y idea of cash payment).
they were given assignments of hnd-revenue or land or
were paid lum p sum s twice a year at harvest time. 1 The
servire 'was thus i!"1"Adually mRde popular in the province. so that
after Sambat 1875 (1818 A.D.) we find the PanjAlJi element
predominant in an tlle branches of the l'e~ular army. The ranks
of this armv were filled with Sikhs, Hindus, Muhammadans and
Riijputs. 'It will alsl) be noticerl from the succeeding pages that,
as Ranjit Sinl1;h's pIa-ns developed, he e-xhibitec1 the same cosmo
politanism in the officering of this arm;v. :Europeans or Indians,
Hindus or Muslims, Sikhs or Rajplits, all were employed, provided they knew their tra,de.
In the heginning, the organisation of the regular army
. .
was very simple. :Each battalion of in
Orgrull8at<oU .
fantry with two horse guns attached to it
was treated as a complete unit, and was controlled and looked
after by its own commanding officer, the kumedan or Com
mandant as he was oltUed. :But gmdually. as the Maharaja
employpd more efficient officers like Ventura. .Allard, Court,
Avitabile and others, the organisation underwent a oonsiderable
chAnge. We accordingly find that after Sambat 1890 (1888
A.D. \, a battalion, instead of being a complete unit, formed only
a part of 1he unit, the army being then ol'ganised into brigade!!,
each of which contained a fixed proportion of the three arms,
infantry, artillpry and oavaJr;v, with the necessary services for
the supply of ammunition and forage_ As a rule, the brigade was
composed of 4 battalions of infantry, one battery of 8 to 10 horse
guns, and a small force varying from a Msalah" to a regiment of
cavalry with a company of beldars '(Sappers and Miners).
In the organization of infantry, a battalion was the administraInfant. .
tive and manoonvring unit. It was about 900
. Y
strong and was commanded by an officer of the
rank of a CommllJldant (kumedan) who had an Adjutant and a Major
to assist him. To eaoh battalion was attached a mU1l8hi or clerk. a
muta~addi, or accountant who kept the regimental accounts. and
a granthi or reader of the Sikh scriptures. In a battalion there
were 8 companies of nominal strength of about 100 each. These
were commanded by BubadiiTs and each 8ubadiir was assisted by
two jam'd,jrs. A company was divided into 4 sections of- about

25 men each, each commanded by a hawiiliJiir who had one niiik

to assist him. The ph!~riya (probably French ,"OIII'riel') and the
ser"'eant who were not assigned to any section perhaps assisted
the"company commander in his administrativ~ duties..
,
The artillery, or more exactly toplsEana (wInch IS the
generic term used for artillery in these
A,UUery.
papers) was sub-divided into (i) top/ffiana
jinsi comprising mixed batteries of ~spi (horse) and gawi
(bullock) guns and hohath l (howitzers), (it) topU/ana aspi or lJUrely
horse batteries, and (iii) za mhii'l'ak/ffianc! or swivel batteries,
The number of guns in a mixed battery varied from 10 to
25 and sometimes even more; in a horse battery it ranged from (j
to 10 and in a swivel battery the number was about 60.
The organisation and interior economy of a battery very much
resemhled that of an infantry battalion. The average strength
of a 10-gun battery was 250 men including non-combatants'
under a Commandant assisted by an Adjutant and a Major.
Each battery was divided into sections, each section comprising
one gun having on an average 11 gUllners attached to it. A
seotion was under the control of a jam'dar who had a llawalcliir
and a nii i k as his assistan ts.
The regular army of the Maharaja was, a~ a mle, paid .
in cash; but instances of IJaymcnf. hy an
Pay,
assignment. of re\'cnue-frc0 lands in lieu
of monthly salaries to some of the higher officers arc not
wanting. However, t.here was neither a fixed scale according
to which men in various grades of service were paid, nor
any hard and fast regulatiollS which gov81'lled their IJrOmOtion from a subordinate to a higher rank. While the scale
of emoluments for the several rauks varies within certain limits
in diffeI'ent regiments, and in different years, it may be of interest
to mention that a careful examination of the pay rolls for a period
extending over nearly twenty years reveals an a.verage appl'Oximating the salaries given in the following statement : kumediin (commandant ), Rs. 60
Rs. 150 a month;
aiJ:illtant, Rs. 80 to Rs, 60; mahzurt, Rs , 21 to Rs. 25;

In t.he artillery branch the rate of pay was much the same
as in the infantry. In the cayaJry it was much higher. A
SOIOiir was paid beiween Rs. 20 and Rs. 26 a month and a r18iil
dell' (a rank sOOils.r to that of a .~Ibad.a.! of infantry) Rs. 40
to Rs. 48.
The scale given above, it should be noted, is that which was
generally followed during the lifetime of Ranjit Singh. After
his death tlte army heca.me all powerful and forced snccessive
rulers to increase their pa.y.
It will be instructive to give in a tabular form the
strength of the re~ular army at different
n
Strc tlI.
times during the !Sikh rule. The figures
given below will show how during his own lifetime the Maharaja
kept the size and expenditure of his army within proper limits,

regular army of the MaharAja was 'the best

organised department of the State. It w:as
G"".ral .......D.
in fact the only department that through
out his reign claimed his muemitting .~ntion.. Haying once .
introduced the European methods of drill, RanJit Smgliwas
alwa18 ~:xiOU8 to bring his r~s ull to the . '~evel of
8
the _Oompany's troops. With this object, he took into his
service a Targe number of Europeans, some of whom proved to be
very capable officers. 'rhe result was that his army "lYas kept in
a most efficient state of equipment and training.
The Sikhs under these officers soon mastered the complicated manCBuvres of a European army and all the tactics
of European warfare. And, in 1846, when their efficiency
was put to a severe test they ~ere found equal to the occasion.
Ounningham, speaking of the :thst Sikh WRr, says: "the
guns of the Sikhs were sf!'ved with rapidity a~d precision, and
the foot soldiers stood between aurl behind their ua.tteries, firm
in their order and active with their musket. The resistance
met by the English on this occasion was wholly unexpected, and
it was at Ferozeshah for the first time that the Indian aIld the
British soldiers of the English armies met an equal antagoniRt
with their own weapons-even ranks and the fire of Rrtillery."
Thus the.value of discipline and the European methods of
fighting introduced among his men by the sagacious Ranjit ha(1
borne their fmit, and if the Sikhs lost the day at Ferozeshah, it
was mainly for want of competent and honest commanders.
"Never did a native army having so relatively slight an
advantage in numhel's fight a hattle ,with the British in which
the issue was so douhtful as at Ferozeshah-; and if the victory
was decisive, opinion remains divided as to ",bllt the I'esult
might have been if the Sikh troops had found commanders with
sufficient capacity to give their qualities full opportunity." I

SUMMARY CA1ALOGUE.
Part I of the volume deals with 89 bundles relating to the
pay rolls of the regular army, from Sambat 1876 to 191)5 (18191848 A.D.). Of tbese, 10 relate only to the troops stationed in
Peshawar, Kulu, Bannu and Tonk at difi'erellt times, whereas tbe
remaining 29 contain tbe rol1s of the entire regular army. The
pay rol1s from Sambat 1868 to 1873 (1811-16 A.D.) wil1 be
found in the bundles relating to General Revenues (to be
issued in volunle II) ; the rolls from Sambat 1873 to 1876 (1816
-19 A.D.) are missing as well as those for Sambat years 1884,
1889. and l896. The pay rol1s of oavalry l'egiments from
Samhat 1890onwal'ds (with the exception of those treated in
Bundle As 25 (U)) are also missing.
In studying the l'OI1S, the fonowing points should be borne in
mind:First.-The units, whether a pal!all (battalion) of infantry,
a g,erah (battery) of artillery, a 1'Qjman (regiment) of cavalry, or,
as afterwards, a brigade of a1l the three arms, were, as a rule,
called after the name of t.beir commanding officers.
Secondl!l-That the 'date of rolls' gh'en tmder each head or
sub head, denotes a period coyered by several sets of pay rol1s. As
explained on page 127, the troops were paid only five times in the
year. The pay ro11s.of an official year aocordingly oomlJrise 5 sets.
The numbel; of folios noted under each of the sub-beads is the
total numher of the papers contained in all the sets of pay rolls
under that sub-head.

Rem.,Ks.-On examining the,e roUs it will appear that during the preceding
ten years, tbe JI[aharaja tried to imp"ove the organisation, quality and Btl'engbh
of his army. Qualified Emop,an officers were taken into service to train men
in methods of Europeau d,ill. A model brigade (frmi-i-lWii!f) was raised in
Sambat 1879. The minimulll strength of a battalion was rais,d from 400 to
700 men. Tbe artillery bra.nch was re-ol'ganised. The practice of attaching
gnus (on the average 2) to euh battalion of infanh'Y, hitherto followed, was
given up and the entire topklJana was divilloo into two sections, -namely,
top7iJJ.llna
01' b,avy anll mix,d batteries and lopkl!iina a.pi or the horse
and light field batteries-each placed undel' an officer of the rank of a General

PART II.
IRREGULAR CAVALRY.
The irregular cavalry of Ranjit Singh may be d.ivid.ed into two
k
P!wts,-the one comprising the contingents
Introdnutory,cmo. , .
~upplied by t:hc jityZI'(/;J.1'8 01' :Iid-holdel'S
and the other the !Jho,!,chl!,!,ah force paitl directly from the
State 'l'reasury.
In the former class, the grantees Ilad to rW'nisll efficient and
well equipped troopel's whenever required by the SI;atc, the number (If the horses mahltained being determiued by the value of the
:lief. On the uay of the ])U.SUh1U, every fii!Jirdar was required
to llresent himself at the generall'eviuw .dwn a strict must", I' of
his contingent was taken by the Maharaja in person. 'rhe services of these 8oICa!'B, howel'er, were being put in constant requisition throughout the pmI' eil'hcl' to chastise a refractory
chief or' to realize revenues from defauHing za.mindiir8, etc.
'rhe sal:ll'ied ghorcharaltS con~tHutea the stantling cavalry
force. The old system of feudal l'~'I'i('s was unconsciously yielding plaoe to the new method of standing armies. A. bare outline
of the ohange may be given below.
In the earliest 8ta.ges of the l'ise of the thlll~a overy
H' to
Sikh soldier cou1<1 get himself enrolled in
" ry.
the natioDllI army and fh:ht' under the
banner of any chief. 'fhis army (clal !d.w.18a) wu-s convoked bv
the aktili8 1 of Alllrilsar lit timeR of national peril. It was, in fact,
a force which temporarily nnited iJldiviclual plunderers intO an
army against a common foe. 'rhe soldiers were paid out of a
common fund to whioh all contributed by plunder, and they disbanded as soon as the pllrpose for which they wero collvened was
achieved. In such a slate of things, the pt'rsonal tie between the
solui"r and tho chief was but weak, and WI) constantly find Sikh
soldiel:~ of the period transferring allegianoe from one ohief to
another. Towards the end of the l8th century, however, we find
a tendenoy on the part of some chiefs to keep an organised band
of soldiers around them.
:By about 17iO A.. D. we find that the more impol'taut chiefs
had established themselves inlo the well-known twelve independent miBl. of the Panjnb. These chiefs had eA.oh his own territory,
treasure and followers, and each Inisl beoame, in fact, a miniature
kingdom.
1 The cUrlZN were a bod, of warrior prihtD whu held ob&rgt of the temple at A:mrit.r.
104
As the Durr8.ni Kingdom of Kabul became more and more
enfeebled by internal strife, the Sikb~ no long"l." apprehended
any serious danger to their faith from thnt quartel'. nnelllot only
did the national spirit of co-operation, ,,,hich had lllttl'ked their
early rise, begin to vanish but these chi',fs were soon eng,ng;ed in
mutual jealousies a.nd q uatre1s. It. hecame impf>J'tnllt ror tbe
chiefs, therefore, to maintaiu their militnry strclJgth. The Holdier
was st.ill paicl out 0:[ tho plun,](~r i" ~L1(;CeS8fnl mitis, but a'l
wadually the soldiery begnn t.., g:et )l,)1'Lions of ~1e b:!l\8 t.h ey
bacl helped to conquer, they began til )'eg(lrll t.hemsches as
partners with their chief, aDd consequently the sentiments of
loyalty and allegiance became strongt'r.
Side by side with this, auother iJUportant cJ.mug(~ lVas going

on. In the early days of their rise, the entire 'dtiil.la was a
camp offighling men, and any Sikh who possessed allelluate pro.
ficiency in arms could and dirl become a memher of tile rial
~"lia~a and claim his share of the spoil. .\.5 Ih" m i.~lrltil"~ ('stah
lished their powor, a large numb!;!' 01 the,,' llu()pie I.,,, .k :" plongJJ
ing a.nd other peaceful occuJJatious, and some protectioH of property and per~on was secmed
rIh~ solrihw became a distinct
unit of society and the militnnt ~fYil~a was tmnSlOl'lfled into n
professional soldier.
We thus see three clear ~t;ag'e6 iu rlti~ ElYoilltionary process.
First we have the U.al~(( soldier tightil1~ for his religion and hein!!
remunerated out of a common fune! raised by pluucler. In the
second stage he is fighting both fOl' 1'oligion anrl for plunder
under the banner of a chieftain of hi~ own choi<'c and still b"ingpaid out of the spoils of con quest. taRtly. WI> se.e that he ha,;
adopted fighting as a profession, that is, a.~ ~ men.ri8 of livelihood,
It was at about this time that Hanjit. Singh appearecl on

the scene and by his great natural talents gave n. definite form and
direction to these movements. He perceived that if l1e could not
abolish the custom of grantinu' fiefs for military service, he should
discourage it wherever possible. He p~~f('rred a re~ularly paid
standin~ army to a hand of fullowers loosely associatecl hy vague
hopes of plunder, and, accordingly. early in hi~ reign he raised n
regiment of salalied ghorchatiih 8?1J:lir ;, A rf'W years later he
raised another regiment known as th.at of the ~ba..~., ordel'lie8,
'.I'hese two regiments serveu us IL uLlclenH llf tbe .Lanling navalry
which subsequently slvelled iuto" largt: almy.
The general body of the ghorchct?,iihs was c\lls~ifterl. as the
uhorcharah kh;u.~ aud the mislda,'s, The former comprised only
~ne regiment which was exclusively recruited from amoug~t the
noble families of the province, while the latter term, misldar,
iOIi
denoted those smaller chiefs who, on the overthrow of their inde
pendent power, took up service under Ranjit Sin"h with their
respective bands of horsemen. Those whom he 8ispossessed of
their lands ani! property he thought himself bound to compensate
and to provide for. To those who were of peaceable disposition he
granted a small cash allowance, while the ohieftain and his
trained warriors were readily taktln over into the army. In
mot, the major portion of RBnjit Singh's irregular cavalry was
the outcome of this line of policy.
The troops of the Ramgarhia Sardars and those of Milkha
Singh Thepuria formed two big g,el'ahs or divisions and the
followers of the snbordinate chiefs were amalgamated en bloo
to the cha!riZr!lth'i and the Orderly Oorps.
The irregular cavalry is, in the thallia darbar records, vari

onsly de~igllated a.s the gkorchariih fauj,
'so'... on.
80wari fauj and fauj be-qawlfid. The last
of these designations was probably given to distinguish it from the
9awa'id-dan QI.' regular a.rOlY and appeal's more appropriate
m as muoh as it explained its character and oonstitution.
Be-qawa'id literally means that whioh follows no prescribed
rules, and since this branoh of the army did not aocept the introduotion of European metbods of military drill and discipline,
whioh were enforced by the Maharaja with full vigour in his
regular army, the gkoroharal" were known 80S the be-qawiZ'icl
ftluj.
"'here W80S neither any system of regimentation in its ranks,
nor wa.s the entire irregular force plaoed uader anyone man
holding the ohief command. This force was divided into several
g,erahs, eaoh of whioh formed a complete unit.
Ordinarily a g,erah had on its regimental staff one Oom
mander 1 - although with DO specified rank-assisted by ODe ~ubor
dinate officer and olerical establishment consisting of a wakl!,
a writer and a pay 'I1lIImshi. 'I.' he chief drummer or dhau'.'sa
fJ/lwaz and the ensign or nishanchi were also borne on the list
of the staff officers. To each g,erah was invariably attaohed one
granthi or reader of the Sikh scriptures.
A g,erah itself was formed of several subordinate groups,
technically called miBZs. Eaoh mis! was oomposlld of a band of
horsemen who, being usually members of one olan, joined the
army in oompany under the leadership of their chief, and the

chief ever afterwltrds continued to act ItS the company officer
when this group was incorporated into any particular lje'T'ah.
A. misl, therefore, like the company in a regiment, was a
subordinate unit of t.he (lerall, though it had no resemblance
with the Illtter in other respects. These flwsls bad neither a fixed
or uniform strength nor were they sub-divided into sections. The
strength of a misl varied from 15 to 70, sometimes even more.
In Sambat 11:79 (1822 A..D.) these (lBI'ahs wel'e grouped into
several bigger divisions, each of which was placed under the
control of a noble of high rank.
Misar Di Ivan Ohand, J am'dar Khushhal Singh. Sardar Lohna
Singh. Majithia, Raja Sucbet Singb, the Sindhanwiilia and the
A.ttariwiUa Sardars each commttnded a division-the Maharaja
himself being the generalissimo of the army. 'This type of organization. it may be remarkerl, kept intact the spirit of clannish union
and its old tendenoy of figbting under the immediate oommanu of
a natural leader, while it did not deny to the mislda,. the lessons
of co-operation which the unity of a supreme command otherwise
nnparts.
.
On closely eXIITYJ:ining the names of the troopers and their
sub-castes, as given in the pay roll~, it appenrs
CompositioD ,
that the irrpgnlar c:walry was mostly composed of the Jat Sikhs inhabiting the Doabs in the Oentral
l'anjab, the Hindu Rajputs of Jammu and Kangra hills and the
Muhammadan Rajpfits occupying the present Jhelum and Gujar
Khan tracts. 'rhe Pathaus, Khatris and Datta BI'alimins also
appear in the army lists, but the Rajpfits and Jats remained the
predominant element.
The irregular cavalry was composed very largely of landp
holders and .;agirdals. Their pay and emo.y.
luments were comparatively higher than
those of the members of the regular army.
In the beginning, the Maharaja, following the traditional
practice, paid them by iitgzrs to the value of Rs. 300-Rs. 400
per annum per trooper. But gradually as their number increased
and the praotice of cash payment became more common. the salary
of a trooper raTlged between Rs. 250-Rs. 300 a year to start
with, and out of this sum he had to provide for himself and his
horse.
Ranjit Singh, it may be remarked. secured this nne material
at a comparatively cheap cost-as it was not so much for his pay
t.hat a man joit!ed the ghorcharah ranks as for the love of fighting sod the dignity attached to this branoh of the army.

The g7l.orcharlth. fauj of Ranjit Singh represented the upper

classes of society. It was recruited and offiAeof'Ja.l romnl'ks.
cered from amongst the relatives and followers of those independent ohiefs whom the Maharaja had brought
under subjection.
In his early days they were the l"ight hrul<l men of Ranjit
Singh and conquered for him the rich provinccs of Jammn,
Kangra, Multan and Kashmir. In the most desperate ventures,
where the tnctics of his reformed or l'eg1l1ar army failed, the
bold and fearlessgho?,charahs often sand the situation. By their
desperate courage they had carne(1 for themselves a name, and for
Ranjit Singh a kingdom.
The proud bealing of a ghorcharah-when riding !iliJ noble
steed with his long tapering bamboo lance bendin~ in tho air and
his silver-bossed shield rattling agains~ his sword and pistol-won
for him the admiration of every one who saw him. Baron Hugela Prussian traveller, who visited Ranjit Singh's court in 1836speaks of this cavalry in the following terms: -I requested leave
to inspect them (the ghorohal'ah8) and never beheld a finer nor
a more remarkably striking bod}' of men. Each one was dressed
differently, and yet su much 111 the same fashion that they all
looked in perfect keeping. The handsome Raja Suchet Singh
(commandcr of one of the biggest divisi(Jns) was in a similar
. costume, and reminded me of the time when the fate of. empires
hung on the point of a lance, and when the individual whose
bold heart be!lt fearlessl1 under his steel breastplate was,the 10111
108
founder of his fortuues. The strange troop before me was peouliarly Indian. The uniform consisted of a velvet coat or gaberdine, over whioh most of them worl1 a shirt of mail. Others had
this shirt made to form apart of the tunic. A belt round the
waist, richlyembroiclered in gold, supported the powder.horn,
eovered with oloth of gold as well as the Persian katiir and the
pistol which many of them carried in addition to those weapons.
Some wore a steel belmet, inlaid with gold, and surmouvted with
kalfJi or black heron's plume; others wore "a cap of steel, worked like a cuirass in rings. The left arm is often oovered from
hand to the dbow with a steel ouff inlaid with gold. The
round Sikh shillld hangs on 'the back fastened with straps
across the ohest, a quiver at the right side and a bow slung
at the baok being oarried as part of the equipment; a bag
made in the belt holds the balls, and a tall bayouet, frequently
ornamented with gold, held in tIle right hand when the man is
on foot and oarried over the shoulder when in the saddle, oompletes the dress."

SUMMARY CATALOGUE.
Part II of the volume deals with the following four bundles
pertaining to the pay rolls of the irregular cavalry. Out of tbese
four, one contains pay rolls and other miscellaneous papers relating only to q,eral. t~~ and the remaining three to tho.se of the
entire cavalry fer a period of four years and six months from Chet
1901 to BhiidoJ;l190G (April J 84.J.-Septem!Jer 1849 A.D.). The
pay rolls for the previous years, i. e., from ~mhat 1869 to 1900
(1811-18,1,3 A.D.)-ns explained in the introduotory not(>-will

attempts have hpcn made at presentlllg a connected account of
this branch of the army, by way of adding short int.roductory notes
to various g,et'oM (regiments) comprising t.he ghorchara" fare;.
These notes are based, partly on the earlier pay rolls and partiy

This regiment was evolveu out of ~ nucleus of some 5 companies of
Rajpat troopers recruited by Ranjit Singh from amongst the Dogras of
Jammn when he annexeU this tract to his Kinguom of Lahore. In Sambat 18741
(1877 A.. D .) these Jamwiil Rajpot.., lIB they were called, were detached from
the general body of the URorehara" .0'1002,. and organised into a smoller body
of 261 strong known as the 4era/. j Oln,.alat}. It then formed part of the
force placed under Misr Diwiin Chand, eoJa, j.no, on whose death in July
1825 it was placed nnder the command of SarJar Lehn& Singh, Majithla.
In 892 (1886 A, D.) the comUlaud was given to Raja Hira Singh and 5
more companies of Sikh troopers were added, raising its strength to 728 men.
Thenceforward the regiment came to be known as the 4"aR kl!4" as it was
DO longer composed of the Jamwlil Rlijpdts exclusively.

act Hira Singh was from very childhood taught to address the Maharaja ...
His father, RAja Dhilin Singh, was one of the three Dogra
hrothers-Raja GulAh Singh and Snchet Singh being the other two-who,
entering the Maharaja's service in comparatively hnmble ca.pacities. rose to
the position of the greatest influence and power at the Lahore Court by
personal address and ahility. The part they played during the eight years
after the death of Ranjit Singh forms an important chapter in the Sikh
history, and.is too well hown to be detail.d here.
Hira. Sing h was very carefully }Jrought up by hi. father, Dhiiln Singh,
and his constant attendance at Conrt mad. him fully conversant with the
policy of the Maharaja. Early in Sambat 893 (18:36 A. D.) Trota and
the .orrounding hill di.triets were placed under his administration, and he
was given an independent command in this regiment. He was thus trained
and prepared for the future struggle in which he took an important part

faction in September 1843 A.D. HiI''' Singh, by a <\isplay of remarkable
conrage, skill and eloquence, won tbe army to his side and sue"eeded in
establishing his position ae wa,.r in his father's place. But soon after ho

exhibited at the gates of the city.
As Him SIngh gained power rhe strength of the rcgimont shows a
corresponding increase in number. From a uucleus of 26 L Bo.olirs in 1874 (1817
A. D.) it rose to 7l/,3 in Samhat 1892 (1835 A. D .). In Sambat 1806 (1839
A. D.) 8 other 4<rahs of Sikh mislr! Iirs were incOl'porated into the regiment,
thus raising its stt'ength to 1,377 men with"n aunt",1 salary of Rs. 4,41,592.
Mah:lr1ija Sher Ringh and Raj" Hira Singh still further added to its Dumbers
and increased the pay till in Sambat JUOl (18440 A. D.) the strength is
recorded at 2,089 men whose annnal salary amounted to Rs. 1.61,70~.

:PlntAll GHO~OHAllAH '1lAl!~
This regiment of o~orc" 11'"n /JJii1~, more popularly known ... the regiment of the bar,' ghor.hariih" was raised early in the beginning of tne
Maharaja'. reign and Was recruited exclusively from aIDoDg!!t the nohle
families of the province. It was the Maharaja's euliest attempt to create
something in t~e nature of a ~tsDtling army md .,,!ay ~e . looked upon as an
important step III the de.olutton of the feudal llulitsry system. The object of
its creation seews to have been on the ono hanu to have a body or f&ithfnl
aDd trained warriors round the person 'o f tho MaharAja, and on the other to
draw the scions of noble families to the Court,
ii2
The aristocratio oharacter of the regiment was more or less main
tained almost to the end, and it continued to he tcgarded as the Mahl
r1ja' s finest ca,...lry regiment, composed as it was of the flower of the chivalry
and nobility of tbc u.n.. The r"gimcnt, like that of tbe ./.ledl' Nih""g.,
enjoyed a great repnt..tion for valour and often turned the scales when
fortanes of ba.ttle seemed w"vering. It distinguished itself in mmy deRperate
venture. and was engaged in almost all the battles of the Sikb period.. It
displayed great valour and resource a.t the battle of Peshawar (the ha.rdest
fought battle of the Northern campaign), at Attock and again at Cbili1n
wlla.
.
For gallantry, orga.nisa.tion and reputation it compares favourably with
the Pretorian gna.rds of the Roman emperors and the old Guard of Napoleon
in more modern times.
On ita constitution in Sambat 1869 (1812 A. D.) Dlwiin Kisban Cband
and Sa.rdilr GnIab Singh Kapta were appointed its commandants. The
former was succeeded on his deatb in Phagan 1886 (Marcb 1830 A.D I by hi.
nephew, Dlwiln Devi Sahai, wbo was tbus elevated from his command in tbe
tjIr,,1 "ndillliila . Devi Sahili continued to comma.nd the Ok r.jardh. regiment till the corpe was finally disbanded in Sambat 1906 (1849 A. D .) on the
trarufer of the government to the British, It will thn- he seen that this prize
poohemained in the fsmily throughout.
Of the two commandants, it appears t.bat Devi Sah;;'; rooe high in the
service of the St&te and bad served in different miiitary 'and diplomatio capaoitie.. Besides the part he took in several campaigns as commander both of
the ~.,aJ Pintlillldia and of the glloT.karan, he was employed on other important diplomatic missions. In Sambat 1894. (1837 A. D.) he was sent to
Bombay in charge ofthe Embassy despatched there by the Maharija to meet
the Engliah a.nd ..Iso" to acquire a knowledge of that province with special
reg;ord to its military and mercantile resources!' In Sambat 1901 (1844
A. D.) he was appointed collector on the frontiers of Bannn-Tonk. Again in
Phl~ 1902 (February 1846 A. D.) he was appointed On the body formed to
consider the terms of the treaty executed between the British Government and
the" State of Lahore" which closed the first Sikh W sr. In the sa.me year
he was employed with Sardor 'Atal Singh and Mis... Rap Lal ... representa.tive of the Kl!"I,4 Va,.bar to demarcate the boundary line of the territory ceded
to the British on the Kangra side as a result of this treaty.
Slrength.-From its strength of 800, ~s it stood in the begin.

ning, it gradually rose to 1,820 during the lifetime of Ranjit
Singh. Maharaja Sher Singh, Raja Hira Singh and Sa.rdar
Jawahir Singh added about 800 more, thus raising the numbers to 1,600 men, whose annual salary amounted to Rs. 6,20,000.

The Commauder R1ija Suchet Singh was the younge.t of the three Dogr..
brothers. The eldest Gnlab Singh had charge of their trcasm'e, troops, cannons
and fortresses at Jammu, while Dhiiin Singh by virtue of his office of Prime
Minister wielded immense influence and power at Court" and the gallant and
handsome Suchet became the idol of t.he cavaJxy.

SD-chet Singh who had not been on the be.t of terms with him repaired to
Jammn for the time being. Bnt as he had a staunch supporter in Rani Jindal.'
he begau to cherish hopes of the 1IJa:iirat himself. Accordingly when in 1844
A. D the new; of estrangement betwoen Hlra Singh and the army reached
Ja.mmu, Snehet Singh set forth to supplant his ll"phew in the gooa grsces of the
troops. Bnt Him Singh, who was a. clever intriguer, had already promised
large bribes to the army and on Suchet Singh' s ..rriv..l it declined to support
him. A secret warning was conveyed to Snchet Siugh, but the gallant Dogm
rashly determined not to draw back, In spite of repeated warnings from the
minister, he refused to .'Otre.oe his steps to tile hills. He we.s at last
deserted by many of his own followers and feU fighting.

All the three systoms 01 payment were co-existing for

'1he .1';J,,~liil!i~:ltu da.s was paiel twice a year in the

uo fbtt'd time for payment 01' sl1-lll l'i(~s . The modern practice of
distributing the salal'ies at the end of each month was never
in vogue uuder the Sikh GOVtlrllmellt. The artUy, as Ii rule,
was in arrears for fivo oi six mouths. But iu spito of this
apparent irrogularity. there WRS, as the following table will
show, a system which the Goverumont observed in regai'd to thc
date of disbmsement : The combined sabry for tho lUonths ofBisakh-Sal!-wan was paill in AStlj - Kiitik (OeLubcrNovember).

SUMMARY CATALOGUE.
Part ill of the volume deals with ten bundles relating to the
of Rccounts. Of these ten, Eoi!(ht pertain to jam' lfbrll'ch
account of the regular and two of the irregular army. The
latter cover II period of the last 5 yeal's of the Sikh rule, where
as the former extend ove!' 29 years from 1818 to 1847 A. D.
I),his record of 29 years, it may be remarked, is not
complete in itself. It is only the jam' ~arch, taqsim or books
of consolidated account of receipts and dishursements that are
pI'eserved for almost the entire length ,of the period above men
tioned and the preliminary papers of ka81'ilt and amanat accounts
could be traced only for broken periods.
The niain order in which the bundles have been numbered
and arranged is chronologioal, but the sub grouping of pa.pers in a bundle has been done in reference to the Bllbjeots they
relate to. The advantage of this.system will be that one would
keep intact the original arrangements followed by the Sikhs, while
the other will faoilitate any referenlle or orossrefert'noe of the items
of account in a partioular year from one sub-head to another.

PART IV.
DESCRIPTiVE ROLLS.
'Ala-'od-din Khilji was, perhaps, the first Indian ruler who,
k
early in the 14th century, introduced the
JntrodueloryremM s.
practice of drawing up descriptive-rolls of
men and horses, but it was apparently discontinued on his
death. It was re-esta blished by Sher Shah and again by Akbar
in the eighteenth year of his reign and remained in force till
the disintegration of the Mugha.l Empire in the middle of t.he
18th century. In the Panjab the system was revived by
Ranjit Singh about Sambat 1862 (1805 A.D.) and ~r!!s rigoro~ly
enforced throughout the Sikh period. The Mahiil'iija made it
n. rule that a man's chihra or descriptive-roll was drawn up as
soon as he entered service.

The pay and allowance of a trooPeJ: was to II uel'tain extellt

the interest of the man that his horse should be ill good condition. A lean aud thin animal \VIIS rejected as unfit for service

~.~ur. of inform ..;."
A few general deductions may fairly bl'
.VOJl&ble
from
the..
p.pen.
made from a cursory stad yo f these jill jI~r's ., .
Firstly.-The opinion generally lleld that the Mfi.h~
riija 'first thought of introducing EmopeaJ1 methods of dl111
"fter the well-known incident of t.he affray bet.ween the alr.iil'i~
and the escort of Mr. Metcalfe does not a pp!\ar to be conect.
Ranjit Singh had raised at lellllt three batt.alions initi~tEld ill
the methods of European drill in Sambat 1804 (180 I A.D.)
about two years before this incident took place.
Secondly.-That four unl, of twelve Infantry Battalioll"
I'aised before the am val of the Frenth Generals, Ventura auet
Allard, wore purely nou-Panjiibi battaliollR, recruitod and offi.cer.
ed by men coming frolJl several clisLriote of the present UlllLuc1
11
146
PrOvinCiUg of Agm ~nd Oudh. Gradually "8 service in the reHtll.u arlilY beOilUltl wore popular iu the 1'1'ovilloe, the purely
P"ujiibi element becomes mure marked.
. . Thirdly.-Bervice in the army was not restricted to any
particular class or creed. Khatris, Rajplits, Jats, SikhS,
Brahmins, Silyyads, Afghans lind Pathaus are all found in the
itl"my lists.
Fou?thly.-rrhough there were no well-defined rules goveruing promotion, mell seelil t{) have risen ~te.adily, and medt or
conspicuouB service seldoIU went .unrewarded. A man who
enlisted as a private generally rose to the position of a
SQbadiir, aud inlluy of those who joined the army liS 8ubadars
or Adjutants, gradually rose to be Generals C{)IDIDanding a
full brigade.
Fifthly.-Indi~oiplille, neglect of duty and insubordination
to higher officers were variously punished with fine, lOBS of pay
and rank, imprisonment in quartel's and dismissal.
Sixthly.-There does not seem to have been any definite age

limit either for entering sl'rvice or for compulsory retirement.
80 long as a lUun WIIS vhyaitRily fit for activt) duty, he continued
to serve in the army. II "ppears I;h"t. m~n between the
age of 20 and 38 were genllmlly regarded "5 being fit for military duty, and that they continued to serve up to the age of 65
. or sometimes even more.
Se'venthly.-Although there was 110 such thing as "
legular pension, yet it appears that a kind of allowance for thl3
dead ~nd wounded was sometimes granted. This pension or allowance as worked out from several cases noticed in these
papers amounted tQ about one-third of the pay, and the wounded soldier was required to give a substitute (generally a brother
or son) befvre he was entitled t,) draw his pension. These
allowances were called inglis which seems to indioate that the
Maharaja. bonowed the praotice from the English.
Eighthly.-Vacanoies in the ranks seem to have been "filled
. from the members of the family of. the retiring soldier. One may
roughly say that about SO per "en t. of the vacancies in the regular
tlolmy were so filled, whereas in the irl"~gular eil vah'y this practice
was allLlost invariable; and the explanation seems to be that in
the former class of cases the payment was mostly by way of
lOonthlysalary and in the latter by i iigfr also. There is,
I therefore, a strong indication that military service was prized and
Bought after and the faci' of 1\ relative having served in the arn,y
gave a person a Hort of preferential light of appointment.
