I think there may be one thing that we can learn from these events and that is how silly the idea is of having a forefinger over the top of what appears small Indian grips. I accept the small stature of the mountian peoples, as small as the classic idea of "pygmy" having small grips. Like those hilts seen on weapons from the Indian/Bhurma border hills. However the other Indian weapon often opulent can surely only be for child soldiers and princes.
