A very nice site on arms and armor of India, and all the surrounding countries of the subcontinent.  Lots of pictures, very comprehensive.

No my friend

We all know that Shamshirs are Persian.  But the Mughals who ruled India also used very beautiful and ornate Shamshirs, so they are very much part of Indian culture.

Yup, or at least, of Mongol Ancestry, i think they'd become somewhat Afghanified/Persified by the time they decided to set up shop in India.

The mughals claimed distant relatios to taimur (turk), who claimed a distant relation to the mongols.
