The association of the Rajputs with the British Indian army started in 1778, when the 3rd Battalion was raised as the 31st Regiment Bengal Native Infantry. In 1798 the 2nd Battalion, 16th Regiment of Bengal Native Infantry, the fore-runner of the present Second Battalion of the Rajput Regiment, was raised. By the Second World War the Rajput Regiment had companies of Muslims, Hindus and Sikhs. They were some of the finest fighting soldiers in the world, as most of them came from families who had supplied the Indian Army for centuries.
