Yes Tom you may be right, but why did the English not make a steel factory in India, where they had enough of quality iron ores?

In the book the author mentions that the Agaria's made weapons like arrow heads, three kind of axes where the biggest is described as a battle axe, two kind of spears, one with a steel haft and one with a wooden haft and utility knifes - but he does not mention swords or other kind of weapons at all.
