The king was not a dependent on traditional method of warfare. He always modernized is army. He launched an artillery department in his army. He appointed Ibrahim Khan as the Chief of the Artillery. Here too we see that most of the soldiers in his artillery were from Muslim community.
Cavalry was another important part of King Shivajis army. The strength of the cavalry was 1,50000, out of which about 66,000 troopers were Muslims.
Siddhi Hilal was another brave Muslim chieftain in Shivajis army. When the king was on fort of Panhala, the army of Adilshah sieged the fort (1660 C.E.). To rescue the king, Netaji Palkar, one of the famous chieftains in Shivaji's army, attacked the enemy. Netaji Palkar was accompanied by Siddhi Hilal. In this battle, Siddhi Hilals son Siddhi Wahwah was seriously injured.
Siddhi hilal was killed in the battle of Nesari. When King Shivaji ordered his Commander in Chief Prataprao Gujar to capture Bahlol Khan, a General of Adilshah who had strength of 15000 force, Prataprao Gujar realized that it was not possible with his 1200 cavalrymen. As the king had ordered Prataprao to not to show face unless Bahlol Khan was captured, Prataprao decided not to let his cavalrymen killed. So he with his six chieftains made a suicide attack on Bahlol Khans mighty forces. These 7 men are known as 7 Brave Marathas, one of them was Siddhi Hilal.
