Maratha tactics were hit and run (Ganimi Kava)
The complete and correct words of this term are Ghanimi Qawait, or the forays of light cavalry. These military maneuvers were also termed Kazzaki.
Please see Gwalior princely state:
The Maratha cavaliers would hover around the invaders and cut down stragglers, or make a wide detour to attack their camp and baggage. They were also experts in making quick raids into enemy lands and plundering their villages and towns.
I have rewritten this article completely from scratch. The previous version claimed to be almost entirely sourced from the Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition but I have now added inline citations from secondary sources throughout the article. Apologies to anyone who has contributed to the page in the past but hopefully this is an improvement. I also moved the battle honour section to a separate article at Assaye (battle honour).

the 5000-6000 dead or wounded maratha figure is completely unverfied the so called contemporary writers as cited were books of 21st century neither sir wellington nor independent british officers gave such figure , it has borne out from no where , the box format has been disturbed and i cant figure out what has gone wrong plz restore the box format at the top .

Plz mention the irregular troops and regular army separately as irregular troops are generally not deployed in main battle, the main army of Maratha was no more than 20-25000 and it should be mentioned the irregular 20,000 infantry should be mentioned clearly. sEARCH any source the regular maratha army is not mentioned above 25,000 apart from some "DIE HARD BRITISH HISTORIAN" , otherwise this battle will be called A ROUT and not tough fight similarly maratha lost at maximum 600men and british lost about 400 men the injured and over exaggeration by some historians is silly as "SIR WELLINGTON" own estimate was sent to the parliament and it clearly states 460 men killed and 1200 injured(on maratha side). Similarly the army which was commanded by wellington was about 13000 and have backup from nizam and other allies(which do not took part in active battle) thats why those figures can be neglected .

Sources describe the Maratha had any army of between 40,000 and 200,000 see http://www.historytoday.com/richard-cavendish/battle-assaye but I think we need to rewrite history here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.237.79 ( talk) 22:59, 11 February 2018 (UTC)
dont fool yourself you have "DECREASED THE BRITISH CASUALITIES", WELLINGTON DISPATCH SHOWS 409 BRITISH SOLDIERS KILLED, 1622 WOUNDED AND 26 MISSING, THIS 1152 WOUNDED FIGURE IS FALSE AND FAKE. The official dispatch is available and their is no need to show british losses from other sources when "WELLINGTON'S OWN DISPATCH IS AVAILABLE" 122.161.245.45 ( talk) 01:58, 2 May 2012 (UTC)
