Ironic that Indian warriors are depicted with Japanese claws for the sake of ease...

...because that's a tekko-kagi they're carrying, not a baghnakh.

A baghnakh is normally worn with the claws on the palm side, and often it can be a series of individual rings, much like the goth and emo talon rings of today. Some are often included in dagger-grips, particularly on the bicch'wa (scorpion-barb) dagger.

But the illustration and in-game unit are modelled with a tekko-kagi, which is more akin to a knuckle-plate or fashioned similar to a rapier's basket-hilt. Those were used by ninja, often as climbing pitons.
