Senapati
Senapati (Sanskrit: सेनापति; ''sena-'' meaning "army", ''-pati'' meaning "lord") is a title in ancient India denoting the rank of military commander or general of the army. It was a hereditary title of nobility used in the Maratha Empire. During wartime, a ''Sardar Senapati'' or ''Sarsenapati'' (also colloquially termed ''Sarnaubat'') functioned as the Commander-in-Chief of all Maratha forces, coordinating the commands of the various ''Sardars'' in battle. Ranking under the heir-apparent crown prince and other hereditary princes, the title ''Senapati'' most closely resembles a British Duke or German ''Herzog'' in rank and function. On occasion, the title ''Mahasenapati'' (Sanskrit: महा ''maha-'' meaning "great") was granted; this best equates to a Grand Duke or a German ''Großherzog''. Unlike ''Sardar'', ''Senapati'' is a primogeniture hereditary title that passes on to the eldest son. There are several royal ''Senapati'' families alive today, including th ...
