An Overview of Indian Warfare: The Shaping of Indian History
By : Ajay Singh
Page No: 14-26
Abstract
The article covers an overview of Indian warfare and its most significant battles - including the battles of Kurukshetra, Tarain, the Three Battles of Panipat, Palash and others. The post-independence wars too have been covered in significant detail, especially the wars of 1962, 1965, 1971 and the Kargil war. The author aims to bring out the battles in the correct perspective — without embellishments— so that we can derive the right lessons from them and get a clear concept of the evolution of Indian warfare down the ages.
