Welcome to the Indian military history task force. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below. The coordinators of the Military history WikiProject can be contacted here. Scope This task force covers the military history of India. This includes ancient India, medieval India, early modern India (including the period of British rule), and modern post-independence India. Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Indian-task-force=yes or Indian=y to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Indian military history task force articles.
