Jemadar

Jemadar was a rank used in the erst-while British Indian Army, and also in the Indian Army until 1965. It was the lowest rank for a Viceroy's Commissioned Officer (VCO) or a Junior Commissioned Officer (JCO). The rank of Jemadar was later renamed as Naib Subedar in the Infantry units, and Naib Risaldar in the cavalry and armoured corps unit.
