In the past, many (Muslim rulers have had the following practices regarding the training of military slaves (ghularri), after young male slaves had been bought for government service, they would be given gradual advancement in rank according to their length of service, education skill, and general merit. Thus, after a ghulam had
been bought, he would serve on foot as an assistant to a cavalryman for one year. After that, he would be given a horse and trained to ride for three more years. By his
fourth year, he would receive a quiver of arrows and a bow case and would start training to shoot and fight with each passing year of loyal service, his rank and honors
would be increased, as would his responsibilities. He would become a troop leader and finally, when he turned 35 years of age and assuming he had served the ruler
honorably in every respect, he would be appointed governor of a province or would become a minister. Unfortunately, this systern has not been followed by rulers lately.
