why are Indian hilts so small
I have wondered this, you see small hilts in other Asian countries but most often from the subcontinent. Possible reasons-
1 Small hands from the under nourishment of serf soldiers?
2 Small hands because soldiers are little more than boys?
3 Small hilts on fancy weapons because they never going to be used by their owners in anger ?
I think these reasons are valid as one does see weapons with what would be considered normal size hilts. Tim
