I'd like to read up on the armies, battles and military structures of cultures in ancient to medieval Indian subcontinent.

Can anyone recommend some books?

Dude you're about to be Amurican. When you say indian you need to specifically state not proper native Amurican but hem thar Indian Indians.

I was all set to recommend some books on the Indian Wars.

Pah! Comanche kick Indian butts in either continent. hoka hey muthaa!!!!

This is the most comprehensive book I've read on the subject. Its a good place to start, as it will familiarize you with the terminology necessary for more specific research.

Thanks Dogma
