∗ For the sake of convenience I use the word campoo for these European-trained brigades and the word fauj for the old type of Indian troops, mostly cavalry. Words like campoo, paltan, (battalion), kumedan (Fr. commandant), manjar (major), jarnal (General) have come from the French and become naturalised in our indigenous histories and despatches written in Persian and Marathi.
