[QUOTE="ashdoc, post: 149993, member: 15932"] [B]dispositions of the rival armies as they come face to face[/B] in front of the maratha army were the cannons ,ranged along the whole maratha line. behind them-- on the left were the gardi muskeeters , led by a great commander , ibrahim khan gardi . as the marathas believed in light cavalry tactics and were not amenable to disciplined tactics , ibrahim khan had recruited his troops from the hindu population of andhra pradesh . thus the gardis ,as they were known were telgu troops in the service of marathas ,and were called gardis due to the surname of their famous commander. to his right ,in the left-center were maratha cavalry troops under vitthal shidev and damaji gaikwad. their task was to support and protect the gardis from a cavalry assault. in the center was sadashivraobhau , along with the peshwa's son vishwasrao ,who had been sent to keep the bhau in check , as the peshwa was afraid that bhau would create an independent kingdom in the north. he was a mere figurehead , as he was only 17 years of age . with bhau was the famous huzrat cavalry of the peshwa , the best troops of the maratha empire ,in the center. to the right of center was antaji mankeshwar with his troops ,and shamsher bahadur , who was the son of bajirao and mastani !! he had been brought up as muslim as the pune brahmins detested the muslim mastani , and refused to accept her son as a hindu . to the right were the forces of yeshwantrao pawar , malhar-rao holkar , and the scindia troops under younger brother of the dead dattaji --jankoji scindia. behind this , came the vast retinue of servants ,camp followers and women . on abdali's side ,the center was commanded by shah wali khan ,his wazir ,with the royal cavalry .with him were 2000 zamburaks , which were small cannons placed on camels , and were light and more mobile than the static maratha cannons. in the extreme right , were the superb persian horse led by barkhurdar khan and amir khan ,and kabuli infantry . in between the center and right were the rohilla troops led by hahiz rehmat khan ,and troops of ahmad khan bangash of farrukabad. to the left of center were najib khan rohilla ,and shuja-ud-daula with their troops . the extreme left flank was composed of royal mobile cavalry of shah pasand khan . in indian muslim troops were in between the afghan toops to prevent any defection from them in case of the fight going badly for them. above all , a reserve was kept by the abdali to deal with any situation ,if arisen. a special feature of his army was military police , who were behind the troops ,and would capture any deserters and bring them back.these reserves and military police numbered 10,000 men. they were the highest paid troops , and considered themselves the afghan kings personal slaves. special scouts on horseback ranged the whole front to keep abdali informed of what was happening in each sector. on the other hand ,the marathas had no reserves ,which showed that they had learned nothing from history.prithviraj had lost the battle of tarain because he had no reserves.
