India is famous for elephants from the conquest of Alexander himself. Unfortunately, when the Timurids invaded India under the leadership of Babur the same elephants turned out to be a bane for the then rulers as they panicked and attacked their own troops due to reverberation of cannons. Ahoms of India are well known for their dexterity in capturing, handling and domestication of the wild elephants.
