The 78th Moplah Rifles were an infantry regiment of the British Indian Army. They could trace their origins to 1794, when they were raised as the 35th Madras Battalion. In the year that the Moplahs became the 2nd Moplah Rifles (1902), a detachment was shipped to England for the Coronation of Edward VII. They fell foul of Lord Kitchener's reductions of 'generally inefficient' Madras regiments and were disbanded in 1907.
