PREFACE
We are delighted while presenting this book “Valiant Indian
Warriors: Philosophies, approaches and Victories” The goal of this
book is to inform the people about the battles of Indian history and
the valiant Indian warriors who have written this saga of defiance
with their blood. This book will be very useful for students and
researchers studying Indian historic warriors and various aspects
related to them. A notable feature of this book is that researchers
have set out in their chapters on current developments and historical
views on Indian historic warriors.
There is an ancient civilization of Indian land, which has more
than 4000 years old tradition of goodwill, love, discipline, warfare
and warriors. India has a history of social, economic and cultural
diversity and defiance. Fighters have their own fair share in every
country. People see them in terms of patriotism and love for his
country. They also considered a symbol of patriotism for the people.
Contribution of those warriors to warfare, war tactics and strategic
thoughts is an example for the new generation. Study and research
of the rich history of this India is the need of the time. No matter
how small a role they have played, whose work continues to guide
us as a pilotage even today. In addition, they revolted against the
colonists so as to stand up for the country and its people. There is
need to study the contribution of Indian Warriors to Indian Military
History and Strategic thoughts. For the better understanding of the
strategies, theories, victories and approaches of Indian warriors we
thought to compile the book “Valiant Indian Warriors: Philosophies,
approaches and Victories” Then we invited Chapters for the book.
After reviewing the Chapters, we selected the appropriate articles for
the book and included it in the book. This book throws light on the
historical background and present scenario in Indian warriors. We
feel that this book will prove useful for practitioners to understand
Theories of Valiant Indian Warriors and his Philosophies, approaches
and Victories. We are thankful of the authors and researchers who
contributed in this book. In the same way, we are grateful to all the
well-wishers who helped us directly and indirectly. Finally, we also
thank the Bharati publications who published this book in such a
short time and presented it to the people. We will always be grateful
to them. We hope the efforts made by us must be appreciated with
valuable support and responses from the readers and researchers.
Your Suggestions, feedback and constructive criticism will always
welcomed for continual improvement.
Thank you Editors
