The '''75th Carnatic Infantry''' were an infantry regiment of the [[British Indian Army]]. They could trace their origins to 1776, when they were raised as the 15th Carnatic Battalion by enlisting men from the [[2nd Carnatic Battalion|2nd]], [[6th Carnatic Battalion|6th]] and [[12th Carnatic Battalion]]s.

Their first action was during the [[Carnatic Wars]]. Followed by the [[Battle of Sholinghur]] in the [[Second Anglo-Mysore War]], they also took part in the [[Third Anglo-Mysore War]] and the [[Third Burmese War]].

After World War I the Indian government reformed the army moving from single battalion regiments to multi battalion regiments.<ref>Sumner p.15</ref> In 1922, the 75th Carnatic Infantry became the 2nd Battalion, [[3rd Madras Regiment]].<ref>Sharma, p.53</ref> After independence this new regiment was allocated to the [[Indian Army]].
