The khanda sword is a weapon that originated in India and was held to great prestige among Rajput warriors. Users could wield it one handed, or use the pommel spike as an extended grip for two handed use. Rajput warriors would often wield the sword two handed and swing it above their heads when surrounded by enemies, preferring an honorable last stand rather than be captured.

It is believed that straight swords similar to the khanda were developed during the iron age Mahajanapadas (600-300 BC), and that sculptures from the Gupta era (AD 280-550) also show figures with khanda-like broadswords. Some experts believe that the final form of khanda was approved by the great Rajput emperor, Prithviraj Chauhan (1166-1192), who is said to have added the brace and flattened blade to strengthen the sword's cutting ability. Today khanda swords are often seen in religious iconography, theater, art, and historical depictions of India.
