This book presents a comprehensive survey of warfare in India up to
the point where the British began to dominate the sub-continent. It
discusses issues such as how far was the relatively bloodless
nature of pre-British Indian warfare the product of stateless
Indian society? How far did technology determine the dynamics of
warfare in India? Did warfare in this period have a particular
Indian nature and was it ritualistic? The book considers land
warfare including sieges, naval warfare, the impact of horses,
elephants and gunpowder, and the differences made by the arrival of
Muslim rulers and by the influx of other foreign influences and
techniques. The book concludes by arguing that the presence of
standing professional armies supported by centralised bureaucratic
states have been underemphasised in the history of India.
