Just today read some article by Aakar Patel on the forum which mentions nagas on the same lines maybe the author was alluding to this

The most interesting of all the mercenary soldiers of India in the 1700s were the Naga sadhus. They were ferocious, utterly reckless and totally naked.

Their leader in the war of the Awadh Shias against the Mughals was Rajendragiri Gosain. During the siege of Delhi in 1753 the monk had the back of his head blown away by an idiot who fired from his own side. A historian said, "I ascribe it to the bad marksmanship and reckless firing for which Indian troops were notorious." In the hands of Indians, guns were dangerous.

Anyways, gross generalization and stupid copy paste reporting.

Some leftist con editor might be having functional dysphasia when dictating this article to one of it minion reporter, who printed it as it is.
