Answer:
The Pindaris were irregular military plunderers and foragers in 17th- through early 19th-century Indian subcontinent who accompanied initially the Mughal army, later the Maratha army, and finally on their own before being eliminated in 1817-19 Pindari War.[1] They were unpaid and their compensation was entirely the loot they plundered during wars and raids.[1] They were mostly horsemen armed with spears and swords who would create chaos and deliver intelligence about the enemy positions to benefit the army they accompanied.[2] The majority of Pindari leaders were Muslims, but they recruited from all classes and religions.[
