{{reflist|group=Note|refs=<br />
<ref name=Note01>The term ''Mulukhgiri'' is derived from two [[Persian language|Persian]] words, ''mulk'', meaning land or country, and ''giriftan'', meaning to take or to seize. It was a type of campaign conducted either to [[Annexation|annex]] the territories of others or to extract [[Tribute|payments]] or [[Arrears|arrears]] from them. This system was introduced by the [[Muslims]] in [[India]], and the [[Maratha Empire|Maratha]]s followed it on a regular basis.</ref><br />
