The chest rig on the right seems to be a Spiritus rig, and the one on the left could be the Razorback Mk II LBV from AT.Who makes these vests? Doesn’t seems to be the unit tailor made ones.

Ohh really lol then why colombus and vasco da Gama were in search of India ???There was no concept of India back then , had the Indian kings ordered the soldiers to kill some unarmed men they eould have simply done the same otherwise their heads would be on the roll. For the common man (the shudras and avrnas) whether it was British or Indian kings everyone was same.
Go to hell1) You have a very poor/simplistic understanding of what went down over 300 years in the Subcontinent.
2) There was no 'We' - the 'We' came only in the mid/late 1800s/early 1900s - and it was Ironically mainly because the British Crown replaced the East India Company with which came Fanatic Christian Missionaries - the "Unity" in India was in many ways a derivative of that push - the 1857 Mutiny was not anti british but more anti Christian - but became a focal foundation stone for national unity (in bits and pieces)
3) We still dont have ONE singular Idea of National Unity today (and IMO - there will never be)
4) Treating Historical Subcontinent as one entity (i.e India) is a fallacy of though proccess - we were more like Europe

Why there is gazwa e hind concept in hadiths written back then 1400 years ago ??
And can you mention some of genocide done by Indian kings ?? So my knowledge can increase
And can you describe similarities between Indian kings and Britishers

1. Didn’t mean there was a unified “India” like you see today—just a bunch of kingdoms, trading ports, and spice routes which they were looking for
2. The “Ghazwa-e-Hind” idea was more of an idea of conquest, not a united place. Back then, it was just a bunch of dynasties and tribes with some shared cultural threads, but no single “India” under one banner.
3. The concept of “genocide” didn’t exist like it does today. Ancient wars were savage, but usually over land or power—not wiping out people just for who they were. Go and see a Sri Lankan textbook on history, they describe the cholas the same way we describe Mughals or Sultans, much of the Tamil hatred comes from there. But as for a genocide, yes we did it....watch Odd Compass's video on Ashoka
4. The British were in it for total control, baby—money and power over every single person. Indian kings in those times? They ruled their land, had local loyalty. They were easily brought off or bargained by the British.
The idea of India as a cultural place existed but not as a nation state....nation states are fairly new and India is no different

Still doesn’t take away the fact that we allowed a country thousands of miles away to control an area the size of Europe with only 57k people. The lack of unity is a major reason for that fact. And the fact that you don’t accept the idea of a Bharat back then is pretty telling.

Shivaji Maharaj looted alot of Gujarat villages under Mughal ruleAshoka the Great - the orginal title was the Great Torturer - I can name you a long litnay of Indian kings who plundered across the subcontinent. - Hell Shivaji/Marathas used to run spoiling raides into neighouring kingdoms for plunder. There are also enough accounts of Indian kings sacking temples for their wealth.

Good question….. not so good answer above.
In fact the Marathas were poorly organized, badly equipped with guns & artillery and badly lead after their defeat by Ahmad Shah Durrani at the Panipat 3.
The British knew thur paid agents all the Maratha disposition and weaknesses. They set the public against Marathas about “Chauth” (quarter of revenue as tribute). After the British defeated the Marathas, they went back on their terms and imposed 40% taxes and took over the management of the tiny Rajas except the internal affairs. This way the British deceived the public and in turn the...
