Winged Stallions and Wicked Mares

Horses in Indian Myth and History 

Wendy Doniger 

In this book, Doniger traces the place of the horse in Indian history and culture, from the arrival of the Indo-Europeans to the Mughals and the British. The book examines how the horse—which was not indigenous to India—was imported, how it became entrenched in mythology and how European standards were imposed on Indian breeds.
