Synopsis The Mughal Empire at War by : Andrew de la Garza

The Mughal Empire was one of the great powers of the early modern era, ruling almost all of South Asia, a conquest state, dominated by its military elite. Many historians have viewed the Mughal Empire as relatively backward, the Emperor the head of a traditional warband from Central Asia, with tribalism and the traditions of the Islamic world to the fore, and the Empire not remotely comparable to the forward looking Western European states of the period, with their strong innovative armies implementing the “military revolution”. This book argues that, on the contrary, the military establishment built by the Emperor Babur and his successors was highly sophisticated, an effective combination of personnel, expertise, technology and tactics, drawing on precedents from Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and India, and that the resulting combined arms system transformed the conduct of warfare in South Asia. The book traces the development of the Mughal Empire chronologically, examines weapons and technology, tactics and operations, organization, recruitment and training, and logistics and non-combat operations, and concludes by assessing the overall achievements of the Mughal Empire, comparing it to its Western counterparts, and analyzing the reasons for its decline.

Synopsis Climate of Conquest by : Pratyay Nath

What can war tell us about empire? In Climate of Conquest, Pratyay Nath seeks to answer this question by focusing on the Mughals. He goes beyond the traditional way of studying war in terms of battles and technologies. Instead, he unravels the deep connections that the processes of war-making shared with the society, culture, environment, and politics of early modern South Asia. Climate of Conquest closely studies the dynamics of the military campaigns that helped the Mughals conquer North India and project their power beyond it. The author argues that the diverse natural environment of South Asia deeply shaped Mughal military techniques and the course of imperial expansion. He also sheds light on the world of military logistics, labour, animals, and the organization of war; the process of the formation of imperial frontiers; and the empire’s legitimization of war and conquest. What emerges is a fresh interpretation of Mughal empire-building as a highly adaptive, flexible, and accommodative process.

Synopsis The Art of War in Medieval India by : Jagadish Narayan Sarkar

Illustrations: 21 Bw Illustrations and 1 Map Description: Numerous books have been written on the Art and Science of War in the West, but a comprehensive and critical study of the subject in India through the ages is still a desideratum. That it is not only of absorbing interested but highly instructive admits of no doubt. True, there exist a few valuable works on Indian Warfare, none has exclusively dealt with the art of war in medieval period during the millenium from the 8th to the 18th century. Hence The Art of War in Medieval India is a pioneer work on the field, being a comparative and analytical survey of Rajput, Turko-Afghan, Mughal, Maratha, Sikh and Ahom systems of war on the basis of critical studies of all relevant sources, Indian and Islamic and in the background of the military classics of ancient China and of the Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, of Clausewitz and Jomini. The present work is also a maiden effort to assail the scepticism prevailing in some quarters that the art had not flowered in ancient and Medieval India as in European countries. The author has skillfully shown that many principles of war strategy and operational tactics known in Europe were also not unknown in India. Greater emphasis has been given to what the author considers to be the basic ideas of army organization, methods and techniques, strategy, tactics and leadership than to specific details of war.

Synopsis An Unfinished Revolution by : Andrew De la Garza

Many historians have argued that European colonization of India and other parts of the world was facilitated by a so-called "Military Revolution." Between the 14. and 18th centuries a series of innovations in military technology and organization reshaped not only the conduct of warfare but also the whole of European society. Rising Western powers designed new tools of war, commerce and statecraft in their constant conflicts with each other--and then used them to impose their will on the rest of the world. Yet this process was not unique. During this time the Mughal Empire also emerged as one of the wealthiest and most powerful states on the planet. It controlled almost all of South Asia and fielded vast armies equipped with weapons that were modern even by European standards. Its success was the product of remarkable advances in technology, tactics and organization promoted by the great Emperors Babur and Akbar. This Indian military revolution paralleled many of the early developments of its Western counterpart. Ironically it was the overwhelming dominance of the Mughals that caused the revolution to remain unfinished. There were no remaining enemies powerful enough to demand continued excellence and innovation--and no successors strong enough to halt European expansion into the vacuum left by the Empire's eventual decline and fall.
