The 114th Mahrattas, also known as the 114th Mahratta Regiment, was an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army, primarily composed of soldiers from the Mahratta community in India. Established in the early 20th century, the regiment played a significant role during World War I and World War II, showcasing the valor and military prowess of Indian troops. Known for their distinctive uniform and emblem, the 114th Mahrattas was involved in various combat operations across multiple theaters, including the Middle East and Southeast Asia. The regiment was disbanded post-independence in 1947, following the restructuring of the Indian Army. Its legacy remains a testament to the contributions of Mahratta warriors in India's military history.
