 The 125th was renamed 'The 5th Battalion (Napier's)'.In 1945, the regiments of the British Indian Army lost the numerals in their titles, and the Rajputanas arrived at their present name of Rajputana Rifles.In 1947, when the Empire of India gained independence from the British Empire and was partitioned into the Dominion of India and the Dominion of Pakistan, the regiment was allocated to India and is now the most senior rifle regiment of the Indian Army.
