Arms and Armours Traditional Weapons of India

 

A soldier values his sword almost as much as his life and a Rajput's most powerful and binding oath was by his soveriegn's throne, or by his arms, or by his sword and shield. Akbar's swords had names and ranks assigned to them and these were sent by rotation each night to his bed chamber. This book traces the development of the weapons of the Indian warrior, from the earliest to modern time, and also provides illustrations of a wide variety of the arms and armour discussed.
