It is known that Ibn Battuta, an Algerian travelling in India in the 14th century, described an attack with a katar ..

It is very interesting to study what kind of daggers were called "katar" in India. I did it. But not from secondary sources.

Excellent research. Thank you, it's not just an empty talk. I very respect it.
But who are these people? Among them are travelers in India in the 16-18 centuries?
P.S. How is nice when you can believe everything that is written in book or spoken on TV. But in the case of East it is.... the wrong way.
