IMHO
The normal length of talwar is when a standing person keeps saber lowered and its point does not reach the ground a bit. For average men growth, this is talwar about 90 cm length. If a person is shorter (or Indian horses, which were almost like donkeys), then the saber length accordingly is less, but the mass of the saber must be sustained (about 1-1.3 kg), therefore they are more massive.
Infantry talwars should have been less curved than cavalry ones.
