@JoanFrancescOl1 Even if we consider crop top armour was common in gupta this is pratihar from 10-11th century your main reference is this warrior from 11th century kiradu Temple built by parmars (former vassals of pratihar who got independent in 10th century) and he's in full chainmail
@AusterlitzIDF@JoanFrancescOl1 The coin is of samudragupta he wears a cap, tunic and pants not armour, 2nd Century mathura spearman is in scale armour with pteruges from north india he's not in crop top scale or chainmail while 3rd image is from unknown period
@Togashi700 @rudrabhoj You idiot historical structures especially forts don't decay like that, its base and walls would leave behind structural remains the remains of Lal Kot in Delhi are still visible today because it was destroyed manually long before nature could take its action
@HarshGaika94302@dudeitsokay@grok And exactly that's why it was a military confederation not an empire it's like calling the current Republic of India as Indian Empire
@HarshGaika94302@dudeitsokay@grok 1) What kind of shitty logic is this 😭😭 do you even know the meaning of word "Contemporary" so sabhasid bhakhar a marathi source calls sambhaji an imbecile, drunkard ra#pist 🍇ed a brahmin lady is a contemporary according to your logic
@HarshGaika94302@dudeitsokay@grok Why do you think it was the maratha empire not any confederation of different Maratha chiefs like Scindia, peshwa bhosle and if it was an empire then who was the emperor what administrative power did he hold? Why there was no tightly centralized bureaucratic power like mughals
@HarshGaika94302@dudeitsokay@grok First prove why it's not a contemporary source, Second what military records you read which says bengal sultanate had many (means majorly) hindus in their army third what was the purpose of Maratha infiltration in land of gauda
@HarshGaika94302@dudeitsokay@grok Ohh my Marathi dear don't you think of me as some random guy who relies on AI, i read actual history books son what you're trying is just damage control
@UnpaidPhilosphr Rajputi Sirohi Talwar is the most heavily used sabre by medieval rajputs clans perfect mix of slicing and agility, second most used is khanda mainly used by rajput infantry and royal guards
