This lecture by Pratyay Nath from Ashoka University examines Mughal warfare in early modern India, challenging the traditional 'Military Revolution' theory. It argues that firearms did not uniformly revolutionize warfare, society, or politics. Instead, Mughal war-making was shaped by diverse factors like environment, pragmatism, finance, and geography, leading to variations in strategy, tactics, and technology. The lecture offers new perspectives on South Asian military history within a global context and proposes alternative frameworks for studying early modern warfare beyond the Military Revolution paradigm. It is presented by the Royal Armouries, a UK national collection of arms and armour.
