A slighter degree of its root meaning "war" in Spanish, is usually translated as & little war & and the word, guerrilla has been used to refer to the concept as early as the 18th century. Incorrect Spanish usage, a person who is a member of a guerrilla unit is a guerrillero if male, or a guerrillera if female. This term became popular during the early-19th century Peninsular War, when the Spanish people rose against the Napoleonic troops and fought against a highly superior army using the guerrilla strategy. However this is not new to India. Lord Rama with his small vanara sena has won over Ravana. In the recent history, Rana Pratap Singh of Udaipur has made guerilla war with Emperor Akbar at Haldighati and won over it. The moghul army were approximately 20000 people and the Rana has got only 300 bhils in his army. To achieve greater targets and to reach higher altitudes, and to anchor at higher places with limited resources, manpower and technology this method is quite useful.
