Indians were weak in Strategies

After watching Rani of Jhansi, Prithviraj Chauhan and now Pratap, one thing for sure, Indians were very brave but they didn't use their brains at all.

Actually I disagree with you, because the battles fought by Rani Lakshmibai and MP were fought with strategy- and here's why I say that:

The battle of Haldighati- there were about 2 million men on mughal side and about 10-20,000 on MP's side- they were able to hold ground because they used strategy and guerilla warfare techniques! It was because of these techniques no soldier from MP's side was taken hostage!

Lakshmibai - She had prepared an army of women, the canons were manned by women, she was no rookie at war, she was skilled! And when all else failed she had a plan to escape and fight another day (as did MP)

Actually it was the guerilla warfare techniques of Maharana Pratap that ultimately weakened the mughal empire- because his tactics were passed down to the Marathas who used these tactics with skill!

Shivaji was a genius strategist- his war strategy and skills are legend! He had conquered so many forts! He is the father of the Indian Navy because he started the first real navy of India!

You know why these brave souls didnt get what they wanted (MP, Lakshmibai) , it was because other rulers, their own countrymen didnt stand by them, the other people didnt have the guts to stand up and unite and unite against the enemy! Indians have strategy, they have brains, but the lack of unity and the inability to stand up for the motherland has cost this land too much!

well said rati.. they mostly lose cause of unity, and the betrayal nature of their own people...the traitors, those the lover of throne didn't trust those who was there for their pride and that's the main reason that they lose...it's totally happened cause of lack of unity and betrayal nature...

Actually I agree rati, u r right. The lack of unity is even a big problem today!!!!

hey very well said indeed, Indians had the right frame of mind, the skill, the intelligence and the determination to sail through even the toughest times, but the lack of unity has always cost this country a big deal and the scenario is the same even now😲 ..that's wot they have been showing in MP from the very first epi, no unity and traitors within their own people 🤢
rulers like jalal or even the British who ruled over india thereafter used this weakness i.e divide and rule policy ..against india...

Coming to MP - when his own family members like Shakti and Sagar and all had also joined Jalal...what more can be expected...? yes they did turn around during haldighati- but that just shows the state of the politics at that time...all rulers had succumbed to jalal - to live a life of luxury...like a bird in golden cage...US's sons too had joined jalal...

It was more an issue of lack of unity amongst themselves and treachery than lack of strategy.

nice post...

Its not that they don't have strategy...

it is that they completely lack manpower or unity or significantly large teamwork , to make any strategy successful...

reminds me of Russian white army during communist revolution, they were referred to as an army of generals, meaning had the best minds, but no manpower to back themselves up.. or implement any strategy...

another reason for failures is that there is overflow of traitors... all over course of Indian history... traitors list would be close to uncountable... no wonder even British rule was on basis of indirect rule...
