was the bagh nakh weapon created by Sikhs? I'v read that Sikhs invented the bagh nakh but then other places iv read that the marathas did? shivaji maratha famously stabbed a muslim invader with a bagh nakh so its more associated with the marathas. i think the weapon is really unique and amazing i first saw one at the sikh empire exhibition in london and i couldn't stop looking at it lol never seen anything like it and its really cool how it was inspired by leopard claws.
