In the last 324 year India has fought a total of 427.5 years of war giving India a War Load of 1.32. Same methodology as before.
Something for Indian politicians to think about here. In the 91 year period of British Colonial Rule where India was co-opted into British Imperial Wars it fought a total of 73 years of war. That is a War Load of only 0.8 years of war / year! Compare this with the total War Load of 1.32 and Post-Colonial of 205/78= 2.62 and Pre-Colonial of 149.5/158 = 0.94. This supports an idea that was captured in the idea of Pax Romana that powerful empires reduce internal conflict by mediating subordinate territories. So Indians experienced less war as a whole under the Colonial rule than before and after. However it must be noted that post-colonial India has a higher War-Load of 2.63 than Britain average. A number of unsolved low level insurgencies that are counted in this method as war are a problem for India and a sign of poor governance.
