EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the essence of a bygone era in India, featuring a one-seated Bullock Ekka or cab, pulled by a pair of sturdy bulls. Circa 1904, this image offers a glimpse into the past when such carriages were the primary mode of transportation for individuals seeking a personalized ride. The Bullock Ekka, an Indian term derived from the Hindi language, was a type of carriage that was commonly used as a taxi or private hire vehicle. The Bullock Ekka, with its simple yet elegant design, is shown here on the banks of a serene river. The passenger, dressed in colonial attire, sits comfortably in the single seat, seemingly at ease as the bulls plod along steadily, their harnesses adorned with intricate designs. The carriage, or trap as it is sometimes called, is a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the people of the time. The Bullock Ekka was an alternative to the more traditional horse-drawn carriages, and its popularity can be attributed to its affordability and ease of use. The fare, although not mentioned in the photograph, would have been negotiable between the passenger and the driver, adding to the personalized experience of traveling in such a carriage. This photograph, with its rich historical context and intriguing details, transports us back in time, offering a unique perspective into the transportation landscape of India during the early 20th century. The Bullock Ekka, a symbol of a simpler era, continues to hold a special place in the annals of Indian history and culture.
