As for polearms, there is some in Elgood's "Hindu arms and ritual": http://press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/...bo3705137.html

Otherwise, Stone and Egerton.

While not Indian, the section on shields in Khorasani's book on Persian arms is relevant: http://www.moshtaghkhorasani.com/bio...mor-from-iran/

Many thanks.
