This book is a work of synthesis and argues that several Military Revolutions has occured outside India since the time of Alexander. None the less, such developments by themselves were unable to guarantee military success to the foreigners due to specific conditions within the Indian theatre of warfare. Only those powers able to synthesize the elements of Military Revolutions with the traditional Indian System of Warfare, were able to dominate the subcontinent. This book also contains guidelines for contemporary military management. \n
