Fauj-i-Ain
The Fauj-i-Ain (Punjabi:ਫੌਜ -ਏ-ਐਨ ,Persian:فوج ی این) was the regular army of Maharaja Ranjit Singh I of Punjab. It contained infantry, cavalry and artillery units. ==Background== Concerned by the growing power of the British in the Indian subcontinent, Ranjit Singh started worrying about the future of his Sikh Empire. He once met Irish adventurer George Thomas and was surprised to see the discipline and new equipment of his army. Ranjit Singh then ordered his generals to train the troops with European muskets, possibly the Brown Bess and Baker rifle. However, his generals were unsuccessful. At that time, Ranjit Singh's men did not wear uniforms, were undisciplined and used matchlocks, swords (including the talwar, khanda (sword) and shamshir), lances and bows.
