RECENT TRIP TO INDIA

IT IS GOOD TO SEE WE HAVE SEVERAL MEMBERS IN INDIA AND THANKS FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION BHUSHAN. I HAVE NOT COLLECTED MUCH IN THE INDIO/PERSIAN WEAPONS BUT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN INTERESTED IN THEM.
THE TWO AREAS OF THE WORLD WITH THE LARGEST NUMBER OF VARIATIONS IN WEAPONS ARE INDIA AND AREAS THAT ONCE WERE HINDU IN THE PAST AND AFRICA. I DON'T KNOW WHY THIS IS THE CASE IN EITHER REGION BUT AM GLAD IT HAS HAPPENED THAT WAY FOR WHATEVER REASONS. IN HINDU COUNTRYS IT WAS NOT UNUSUAL FOR SOME OF THE DIETYS TO HAVE NUMEROUS ARMS PERHAPS THEY NEEDED A DIFFERENT WEAPON FOR EACH ARM? JUST A WILD GUESS

I HAVE NO GUESSES AS TO WHY IT ALSO HAPPENED IN AFRICA

PERHAPS THE MEMBERS IN INDIA COULD GET TOGETHER AND SEE IF ANYONE HAS THE CONNECTIONS AND POWER TO ORGANIZE A TRAVELING EXHIBIT OR A EXIBIT LIKE ANTONIO DID IN MACAU. THIS COULD GENERATE INTREST AND PERHAPS A PROFIT AS WELL AS GET A BOOK MADE ON THE EXHIBIT. IF ONE OR TWO MUSEUMS COULD WORK TOGETHER AND DO THIS SUCESSFULLY PERHAPS OTHER MUSEUMS AND GROUPS COULD GET INVOLVED IN THE FUTURE. THE GAMES ARE COMMING UP IN INDIA SOON SO PERHAPS INTREST COULD BE ORGANIZED FOR A EXHIBIT THEN. IT WOULD TAKE A LOT OF WORK BUT PERHAPS IF THE RIGHT PERSON WAS IN CHARGE IT COULD BE DONE.
