you can use the araby list to represent Inde if you want
instead of flying carpet and camels substitute something else,

Skip the Elephants and Flying Carpets and then you get a ARABY army with historical background......that´s quite easy to do.

I think because a lot of people look at Hannibal and alexander they see Greek type warriors fighting Persians with there hordes of elephants. So of course this means the whole of Africa had elephants at a whim.

Not very fitting with Arabia nope.

I really think the WM Araby list is more based on watching Disney's Aladdin and various old Sinbad films rather than any historical basis. At least that's what it looks like to me.

That's my take. If you want arabic historicals, there's no lack of companies willing to sell you in-scale, well-sculpted minis. What makes Araby so cool is that they do the same things that Bretonnia does for England: create a mythic, larger-than-life version of a culture. The high fantasy of Araby is pretty cool.
