It was only after 750 AD, when buffeted by ceaseless invasions of Greeks, Sakyas, Turks, Mughals and finally the European powers that India lost its military elan and was engulfed by dependency. The author has analysed the reasons for military debacles during this period. These basically have been the territorial divide, lack of central authority, lack of aggressive defence and a belief in mass as opposed to manoeuvre. These military precepts combined with Hindu philosophical and spiritual factors, especially the philosophy of �live and let live', contributes greatly to our being slaves for a thousand years.
