    Jats and Cavalry

    0th Lancers (Gordon's Horse), 20th Deccan Horse, 29th Lancers (Deccan Horse), 1910
    Sowars of the former 'Hyderabad Contingent' Cavalry, 1910.
    Watercolour by Major Alfred Crowdy Lovett (1862-1919), 1910.

    These sowars include a mounted Jat Lance Daffadar of the 30th Lancers (Gordon's Horse), a Sikh of the 20th Deccan Horse and a Dekhani Musalman Risaldar of the 29th Lancers (Deccan Horse). These three regiments originally belonged to the army of the Nizam of Hyderabad, but during the 1903 Kitchener reforms became part of the Indian Army.

    What we must remember is these were colonial times. So, the words used in the old/ancient documents might hold some colonial trends.
