Shiledar (Silhadar) was a term used for a soldier's position in India's Maratha Empire (1630–1818), particularly during the reign of Shivaji. The word shiledar means "a soldier who possesses his own sword and horse for taking active part in combat/war".
Ashta Pradhan was a council of eight ministers that administered the Maratha empire. It was an administrative and advisory council set up in 1674 by the Maratha leader Shivaji. The eight officials were called Peshva, Amatya, Waqia-Navis, Samant, Sachiv, Pandit Rao, Sar-i-nabuat, and Nyayadhish.
