On a serious note, the Chieftains tech is neither over-powered nor is it useless. It gives their infantry better chance at handling late-game cavalry and makes their infantry a bit more effective at multitasking.

To speak about Indians, the camels can never become a replacement for the knights and paladins no matter what, for camels counter knights (however effective it might be) but can never replace the solid power they bring with their superior armour and all-roundedness.

Basically, a far effective choice for Indian UU would be Rajput warriors with some general stats rather than an Elephant Archer, also it makes no sense for the Persians to get Mahout and Burmese to get  Howdah as both these words are derived from Hindi (Indian Language) and are primarily used and developed in India.

Adding more the Indians should effectively get the battle elephants to balance their weakness in Cav.
