If you read history, you find in many battles Indian defenders mobilized much larger army against invading force & yet they lost in home ground? Why? Let me explain 1. Indian defenders were always like crowd - soldiers on contract #TourofDuty of Modi 2. Gave unorganized battles
Halla Bol was favorite battle strategy of Indians. Just gather crowd with arms and just stand wait. Could never develop idea of organized battles. like Peshwa moving his Muslim arty as vanguard against Abdali defying every mil tactics.
3. Centralized command in King and if kind died-U Army dispersed. 4. Using animals as shield. War elephants are excellent offensive weapons but were always used as defensive shield. Result they could never prove fatal rather turned back and routed ur own army. 5..Caste system.
Only minor section of society stood up to fight, other made deals. For example, When Gauri attacked Kul Chand at Mahaban, Brahmins made deal with Gauri and helped him defeat Kul Chand. It also resulted in population not harassing any invading army. 6 Slow speed of mil ops
Like in Leh Indian army took more then 3 months just to match Chinese capabilities. No enemy will give you this time. 7. Inferior mil tech and inability to cut enemies logistics. You will be surprised. Most times invasion were result of internal invitations and support
