The Pindaris (Bhalse, Maratha, Rohilla and Pathans) were irregular military plunderers and foragers from 17th- through early 19th-century Indian subcontinent who accompanied initially the Mughal Army, and later the Maratha Army, and finally on their own before being eliminated in the 1817–19 Pindari War. They were unpaid and their compensation was entirely the loot they plundered during wars and raids.
