A sepoy or sipahi was originally the designation given to a professional Indian infantryman, usually armed with a musket, in the armies of the Mughal Empire.In the 18th century, the French East India Company and its other European counterparts employed locally recruited soldiers within India, mainly consisting of infantry designated as "sepoys". The largest of these Indian forces, trained along European lines, was that belonging to the British East India Company

The term "sepoy" or sipahi is still used in the modern Nepalese Army, Indian Army, Pakistan Army and Bangladesh Army and Bangladesh Police, where it denotes the rank of private soldier.
