Abstract
The paper reviews the general conditions of the transport networks in the pre-colonial Bengal Delta. This region has a rich history of political dynamics, a thriving economy, and active commercial ventures. In the pre-colonial period, two primary transport systems operated in the Bengal Delta: waterways, due to the riverine and coastal landscape, served as the main mode of communication, while road transport was utilised in the areas where water transport was minimal. Variations in nature, capacity, shape, and functionality of these transport systems were influenced by the distinct geo-environmental features of the region. This paper serves as an in-depth exploration of pre-colonial transport systems, providing a foundation for understanding the evolution of modern transportation in Bengal.
