It is interesting that the foot wheel is not presently used in India today except in Punjab, Sind and Baluchistan and it is very likely that the same was in use in that area since Harappan times. Presently the foot wheel is in use in many countries of West Asia such as Iran, Israel, Iraq, Egypt etc., and consequently it is not unlikely that it reached India from West Asia sometimes in the fourth millenium B.C.
