Re: Historical Battles in Ancient & Medieval Bharat

I am sure you would not have bothered had these kings made marital alliances with hindu/ budhist/ sikh/ jain kings for obvious reasons. Ofcourse. But do you sense a difference in behaviour of rajputs kings pre and post the daughter giving episode? Does their behavior, post the daughter giving episo...

Re: Historical Battles in Ancient & Medieval Bharat

Rajas you mention gave their daughters to Mughals too. Dara Shikoh's (Eldest son of Shah Jahan) son, Sulaiman Shikoh, was married to the daughter of Rajput Raja Prithvipat Shah of Garhwal. Aurangzeb (Third son of Shah Jahan) was married to Rajkumari Anuradha Bai Sahiba [Kalimat un-nisa Khanum], giv...

Re: Historical Battles in Ancient & Medieval Bharat

We have been discussing this for a while now! I commend your enthusiasm to find out why Amber did what it did. Suffice it to say that the condition Amber found itself in 1562 was no different then the condition numerous other rajput kings had found themselves in during last 800 years prior to 1562....

Re: Historical Battles in Ancient & Medieval Bharat

1. If in retaliation to breaking of the stupa of sarnath a buddhist had broken a mosque then does it mean that buddhist are as much as a fanatic, fundamentalist and violent as muslim invaders 2.

Isn't that the point of nuclear weapons for a country like Pakistan, which cannot match India conventionally? To deter a large scale offensive? HOW CAN WE IGNORE NUKES?

Re: Armoured Vehicles Discussion Thread

Not necessarily. One of the factors leading to the decline in the importance of the tank (and not just obsolescence, the two things are separate) is probably ATGMs no doubt, but that is not all. Apart from the threat posed aircraft, i think an armoured thrust will, these days, be met with tactical ...

Re: Armoured Vehicles Discussion Thread

Whether tank is admitted in Army in large number or not it is a success now and will pave the way for future indigenization of the weapon systems.
