Ancient India war history

Thank you for listening

Have a great Terra Nova

Possible Ancient Nuclear weapons

It is in ancient Indian epic poems such as such The Mahabharata and The Ramayana that we can read what appear to be references to an otherwise relatively primitive people having the capacity to wield highly destructive nuclear weapons. Not surprisingly it is as a direct consequence of such compelling passages that many UFOlogists like Erich Von Daniken and W. R. Drake (See for I.E. According to The Evidence – Souvenir, 1977 and Gods & Spacemen In The Ancient East - Sphere, 1976 ), have argued that the highly advanced capacity to use (and misuse) nuclear weaponry must have being handed down to these ancient people by the Gods or, in other words, highly-advanced extra-terrestrial spacemen. Though this is very unlikely.

Pictures of Indian warfare

Weapons

The warriors covered themselves in metal plates to protect their body. By the middle ages the armors had become sophisticated. An axe has a strong and sturdy handle with a blade at its one end. It can be a single blade or a double blade. The blade and the shaft both were metal but the shaft could be a wooden pole. Swords, the gentleman of all weapons, were very prevalent during ancient ages. The sword fighters constituted the majority of the army.Indian swords are designed keeping in mind their unbreakability, rigidity and cutting power that blend together giving the sword, a very unique character

War Chariots

Although most people associate Ancient Indian warfare with elephants. The Chariot is the real backbone of their armies. Indian chariots are nothing like the light Egyptian chariots that people usually think of. They are huge four-wheeled vehicles, made of iron, wood, and decorated with gold.

War elephants

Sources

India was the first and last country to use elephants in battle. They were kinda like their version of tanks. Elephants from the tip of South India and Sri Lanka were they most prized. They usually had a castle like structure on their back and held troops. Though one elephant could hold only one to six troops. (If you want to see an elephant in battle buy lord of the rings)

Warfare Laws

When society became organized and a warrior caste (Kshatriya) came into being, it was felt that the members of this caste should be governed by certain humane laws, the observance of which, it was believed, would take them to heaven, while their non-observance would lead them into hell. In the post Vedic epoch, and especially before the epics were reduced to writing, lawless war had been supplanted, and a code had begun to govern the waging of wars. The ancient law-givers, the reputed authors of the Dharmasutras and the Dharmasastras, codified the then existing customs and usages for the betterment of mankind. Thus the law books and the epics contain special sections on royal duties and the duties of common warriors.

It is a general rule that kings were chosen from among the Kshatriya caste. In other words, a non-Ksatriya was not qualified to be a king. And this is probably due to the fact that the kshatriya caste was considered superior to others in virtue of its material prowess. Though the warrior's code enjoins that all the Ksatriyas should die on the field of battle, still in practice many died a peaceful death. There is a definite ordinance of the ancient law books prohibiting the warrior caste from taking to asceticism.
