Chariots were introduced to India by the Aryans during the mid second millennium BCE, and as in more western regions they came to dominate the battlefield. India was a patchwork of kingdoms and other states who fought each other at various times, ensuring there was no shortage of practice in the arts of war, and many states maintained a chariot force (the south had few good horses and therefore few chariots, while the mountainous north-west had none as the terrain was unsuitable). The chariot was the most prestigious part of the army, and was usually ridden by a wealthy noble. The evidence suggests they were generally quite heavy vehicles, possibly quite slow, and were often deployed in front of the army as a screen. Their role was in large measure psychological, but they were intended to charge and break up enemy formations in conjunction with the cavalry.
