It was renamed the Chota Nagpur Light Cavalry in 1910 then the Chota Nagpur Regiment in 1917. The regiment was disbanded subsequent to [[India]]&#039;s independence in 1947.<br /> <br /> A light horse [[regiment]] was roughly equivalent to a [[battalion]] in strength (~ 400 men) and its troops typically fought as [[mounted infantry]] rather than traditional cavalry.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Military units and formations established in 1891]]<br /> [[Category:British Indian Army cavalry regiments]]<br /> <br /> <br /> {{UK-mil-unit-stub}}<br /> {{India-mil-stub}}</div>
