Explanation: Two features of the sawar system may be noted. For every contingent of ten men, the mansabdar was supposed to maintain twenty two or twenty horses. Since the cavalry was the main arm, replacement of horses during a march or during battle was considered vital, so much so, that a sawar with one horse only was considered a nim-sawar, i.e., half a sawar or one who had one leg on the ground. Secondly, the Mughals favoured mixed contingent with men drawn in fixed proportions from Irani and Turani Mughals, Indian Afghans and Rajputs.
