Too bad none of this came in handy when the Britisher brought with them guns, battleships, and field cannons. Ever wonder why the Japanese made drastic changes to their fighting strategy and weapons employment; from Katanas to rifles and iron clad warships.Interestingly South Indians owned one of the most ancient form of Martial arts.. they still practise it there.

Most people in present day India were too weak and impoverished to fight the invaders.. Thats why India came under enslavation so many times
I have seen these Uzbeks and Turkmen in real life, they are natural born fighters, no wonder these guys were able to rule vast empires in their times. There are countless Turkic empires, Mughals included (the original Mughals, not the ones who later intermarried into the locals and thus lost their Turkic qualities).

You do know that when you say India, it actually means Pakistan more. Present day Pakistan has had less son-of-the-soil "ingeniousness rulers" than India. If you take away Ranjit Singh, it is practically nil.

Interesting isn't it, that the little Island nation of Europe that had no unique martial arts form of fighting was able to dominate nations which did. And the only Eastern armies that were able to defeat them were armed with guns and not some foot kicking, sword dancing fighting method.
As the saying goes; "Never bring a knife(or any bladed object) to a gun fight".

Actually there is a martial art. It is now dying, but I think some Sikh baba is trying to revive it.
By grandfather had told me about it. It was called Gatka.
Any proof of that? Or regular brain fart?
Geographically speaking, every time India got invaded, Pakistan was the first to fall, because it was en-route the path the invaders took from North-West of the subcontinent. ...
Well man. This is what Indians want to believe in. That's fine.
In reality, India is nothing but Ganga Valley civilization, where aborigines the real "Indians" were enslaved and turned into untouchables. You should really cry about their fate if you believe in Indian-ness.
Pakistanis are Sindh valley people. At least no one has turned us into untouchables, shudras, etc. etc.
peace to you.
You are taking the discussion to a completely different path, I was strictly talking about invasions and sons-of-soil rulers that jellodragon bought up, not civilizational differences.
Regardless, I will entertain your queries. Are you claiming that the ancient Hindus of Pakistan did not follow the caste system? Or are you claiming that they followed the caste system but there were no low caste Pakistanis? Because you might be in for a surprise either way...
Caste is pretty irrelevant in India for the most part today though, I didnt know what caste I belonged to until I got curious and asked my Mother on my 19th birthday, and I was born and bought up in Mumbai in the 1990s. I can see things being even more liberal today with the economic success in the last 20 years and liberal atmosphere that has been created by Inedian media like Bollywood and TV serials.

Or even something similar to the recent one we have on our side of Punjab.

BTW.. what is your village and what form of martial arts do you follow for being a martial race.
