India was a peace loving country and Indian rulers never fought unnecesarily. We even strictly abided our own rules of war. In India "ALL" is fair only in love and not in war. Even when Alexander fought Prithviraj, he crossed Jhelum by night and attacked when he knew it was forbidden to fight in India.
I will tell you a few examples from South India to explain how peace loving Indians were.
Few important Martial art used during war are techniques in South India are 1) Bow & Arrow, 2) Staves, 3) Body Fight and 4) Spear & Lance. A peace loving nation, as India has been historically, these idle weapons of martial arts are now used for fine arts & science. (dance, musice or medicine). "Villuppattu" - story recitation technique is done with Bow & Arrow, "Silambattam" the best Staff-technique is used as fine art or dance, "Kalari" is used in dance choreographies, "Varmam" is used as medcinal technique, "Spear & Lance" are used in "Velakkaranattam". These usages did not happen recently, but very long back, when the whole world still hunting fellow human race, India was civilized enough to search for eternal peace through non-violence.
We trust is people, betrayers carry their own sin. Even if there are mroe betrayers, we would still trust. POWER OF TRUST AND FAITH ARE IMMEASURABLE.
