Is there any License required for keeping swords ??? I've heard that anything with more than 8 inches of blade size requires License ...
So experts please throw some light on this too ...

Re: About License
Hi,
First its 6 inch not 8, and 2 inch wide.
About license I had tried fromlocal SHO to Tahasildar to DM and they were surprized like I asked for their eyes.
It seems that sword and knife license is not in practice thus most of them have not given.
Thanks

It's 9 inches long or 2 inches wide and not what you have posted. You can get a license, but like a gun license, you need to explain the reason. Collecting swords doesn't seem to be a reason accepted by the LA. If it is there in your religion like it is there for the sikhs, then it wouldn't be a problem.
So, bottom line, stick to knives.

Jeff Cooper advocated four basic rules of gun safety:
1) All guns are always loaded. Even if they are not, treat them as if they are.
2) Never let the muzzle cover anything you are not willing to destroy.
3) Keep your finger off the trigger till your sights are on the target.
4) Identify your target, and what is behind it.
