This work discusses the wars fought in ancient India and the war strategies that came to be developed. Advanced modes of combat were devised and new methods related to the use of various weapons were perfected. The volume also delves into The Mahābhārata and works like the Arthaśāstra, the Kāmandakīy Nītisāra and the Śukranīti that contain graphic descriptions of war tactics as these evolved over the centuries.
