SOME OF MOST COMMON WEAPONS USED IN WARS IN ANCIENT INDIA

1-TALWAR - INDIAN SWORDS AND DAGGERS CONSIST OF A WIDE VARIETY OF SHAPES AND WERE ORNAMENTED WITH PRICELESS GEMS,GOLD AND SILVER. THE TALWAR IS A TYPE OF CURVED INDIAN SWORDS OR SABER THAT GAINED WIDESPREAD POPULARITY DURING THE MUGHAL RULE.




2-KATARA - KATARA IS ALSO CALLED SUWAIYA. IT IS A VARIANT OF AN INDIAN PUSH DAGGER. KATARA IS CHARACTERISED BY ITS TYPICAL H-SHAPED HORIZONTAL HAND GRIP AND AS A RESULT THE BLADE OF THE SWORD IS SITUATED ABOVE THE KNUCKELS OF THE USER.


3-GADA - GADA IS A FORM OF INDIAN MACE WHICH IS MAINLY A BLUNT WEAPON THAT CONTAINS A HEAVY TOP ON ONE END OF THE HANDLE TO DELIVER POWERFUL BLOWS AND CRUSH THE ENEMY'S BODY PARTS LIKE HEAD,CHEST,LEGS,ETC. HANDLE OF GADA IS MADE UP OF METAL OR WOOD AND THE HEAD IS MADE UP OF STONE, BRONZE, STEEL, OR COPPER.



4-KIRPAN - IT IS THE SYMBOL OF SIKH RESISTANCE KIRPAN MIGHT LOOK INTIMIDATING AS ITS COUNTER PARTS, BUT THE REASON BEHIND ITS INDUCTION INTO SIKH RELIGION IS INTERESTING.

AFTER AURANGZEB EXECUTED GURU TEGH SINGH BAHADUR , EVERY SIKH WAS ASKED TO CARRY A KIRPAN, AND STUDY MATERIAL ARTS - AND BECOME SOLDIER SAINTS. THIS TRADITION OF DEFENCE AGAINST THE OPPRESSION IS WHY WE SEE THE DAGGER EVEN TODAY.

5-BAGH NAKHA - IT IS THE FAMED WEAPON SHIAVJI USED TO KILL AFZAL KHAN. THIS LETHAL WEAPON WAS USED WITH POISON TO ASSASSINATE TOO. IT COULD BE EASILY CONCEALED UNDER THE PALMS.

BECAUSE OF THIS QUALITY , WOMEN WERE ENCOURAGED TO CARRY IT WHEN THEY WENT TO DANGEROUS PLACES.

6-THE URUMI - IT IS THE CURLING BLADE FROM KERALA THAT IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT WEAPONS TO MASTER. IMAGINE A SHARP SWORD THAT IS AS FLEXIBLE AS A ROPE . ONE SMALL MISTAKE AND YOU CAN CHOP YOUR HANDS OFF. THE SWORD IS STEEL BUT IS VERY AGILE AND HAS A VERY LONG BLADE TYPICALLY 5-6 FEET LONG. 

AND THE NEXT LEVEL BADASS IS THAT SOME OF THESE SWORDS HAVE UP TO 32 BLADES ATTACHED TO THEM!
