This book is a contribution to the history of the wheeled vehicle in India. In the first part we examine the present carriages, their types and their distribution; then, in the light of these clearly discernible facts, we intend to interpret the sources concerning, on the one hand, the wheeled vehicles from Protohistory to the Mughal period, and on the other hand, the changes introduced by the transport revolution of the middle of the 19th century.

L’analyse des documents montre qu’avant la période britannique existaient, dans les plaines du Nord, plusieurs types de véhicules destinés au voyage et au transport des marchandises, certains équipés d’un système de suspension rudimentaire, alors que, sur les plateaux du Deccan, on trouvait…
