- More about Army Organization, Military Technology and Warfare During the Delhi Sultanate
The monograph examines the traditional Indian conduct of war prior to the Ghorid conquest, investigates the development of military technology, and its employment in battle tactics, siege operations, and defensive strategies concerning the forts during the Delhi Sultanate. It incorporates all spheres of military history, administration, strategies, technology, and logistic nature of forts during the Sultanate. The desire to have a qualitative army led to the demand of efficient soldiers who were well trained in the art of war, with preference given to Turks, Tajiks, and Afghan soldiers initially, but later during the Khaljis, Indians, and Mongols too were recruited. Additionally, the demand for foreign breed horses and Indian elephants also increased due to the new military system which evolved after imbibing the Central Asian and Indian traditions of warfare.

The monograph titled "Army Organization, Military Technology, and Warfare during the Delhi Sultanate" delves into the traditional Indian conduct of war prior to the Ghorid conquest of India. It critically examines the defects and imperfections in the art of war compared to the Turkish rulers. The study explores the development of military technology and its application in battle tactics, siege operations, and defensive strategies related to forts during the Delhi Sultanate. It encompasses various aspects of military history, administration, strategies, technology, and the logistic nature of forts during the Sultanate. The desire for a qualitative army at the Centre, provinces, and frontiers led to the recruitment of efficient soldiers who were well-trained in the art of war. Initially, preference was given to Turks, Tajiks, and Afghan soldiers, but later, during the Khaljis, Indians, and Mongols were also recruited. Additionally, the demand for foreign breed horses and Indian elephants increased due to the new military system that emerged after incorporating Central Asian and Indian warfare traditions.
