We may, therefore, take it as approximately correct that Abdali's fighting force was divided into two equal halves of about 40,000 men each,—the Durrāni portion (including the camel corps and unspecified infantry) being composed of 30,000 horse and 10,000 foot, and the Indian portion of the same number of men, but in the inverse proportion of horse to foot, namely 10,000 and 30,000 respectively. The Indian Ruhela army consisted preponderantly of foot musketeers.
