On the Weapons, Army Organisation, and Political Maxims of the Ancient Hindus : With Special Reference to Gunpowder and Firearms

Omtale

This 1880 book considers, 'with special reference to gunpowder and firearms', the weaponry of the Hindu armies of the Middle Ages. Oppert's claim that gunpowder was being used in India in the twelfth century is probably untenable, but the work remains an interesting study of Hindu fighting forces.
