== British Indian Army Cavalry==
The British Indian Army maintained about forty regiments of cavalry, officered by British and manned by Indian sowars (cavalrymen). The legendary exploits of this branch lives on in literature and early films. Among the more famous regiments in the lineages of modern Indian and Pakistani Armies are:<br>
*[[Governor General's Bodyguard]] (now President's Bodyguard)
*Queen's Own Guides Cavalry (now partitioned between Pakistan and India).
*Several of these formations are still active, though they now are armoured formations, for example Guides Cavalry in Pakistan.<br>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cavalry Wikipedia]
