Colonial practice
In various colonies, litters of various types were maintained under native traditions, but often adopted by the white colonials as a new ruling and/or socio-economic elite, either for practical reasons (often comfortable modern transport was unavailable, e.g. for lack of decent roads) and/or as a status symbol, legitimizing their theft and occupation by aligning their status as worthy of transportation by palanquin to equal of native elites. During the 17-18th centuries, palanquins (see above) were very popular among European traders in Bengal, so much so that in 1758 an order was issued prohibiting their purchase by certain lower-ranking employees. <span style="font-size: smaller;" class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[Special:Contributions/82.206.142.82|82.206.142.82]] ([[User talk:82.206.142.82|talk]]) 19:59, 27 June 2009 (UTC)</span><!-- Template:UnsignedIP --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

If somebody should need pictures of several Indian litters, they might want to contact me as I do have taken a few and don't have the nerve to upload them right now. Cheers--[[User:Zenit|Zenit]] ([[User talk:Zenit|talk]]) 17:35, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

On the language box at the left side of the page, a link to wikipedia in spanish should be added. The spanish article is "Litera (vehículo)" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.245.8.49 (talk) 17:34, 5 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sedan chair

I think sedan chair should be broken out into its own article, leaving litter (vehicle) to be about couch-type vehicles. As it is, almost the whole article is about sedan chairs. We need more pics of military/emergency litters as well as luxury litters. --Tysto 22:15, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ambulance service

Can someone identify for me which Royal Infirmary this page is talking about? I've found sources variously identifying the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary [1], Glasgow Royal Infirmary [2] and Chester Royal Infirmary [3]. Thanks. AlistairMcMillan 20:57, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Japan

Added a section on Japan. Not sure if Omikoshi should be here but, I had always translated that term as palanqin.--Timtak 03:54, 4 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Litter?

Why is the palanqin called a litter over here, and in which country is it known as a litter? --Rsrikanth05 (talk) 13:43, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, this is some heavy POV

This sounds like it was written by a "socio-anthropological studies of White Male colonialist oppression major" at UC Berkley.

Colonial practice In various colonies, litters of various types were maintained under native traditions, but often adopted by the white colonials as a new ruling and/or socio-economic elite, either for practical reasons (often comfortable modern transport was unavailable, e.g. for lack of decent roads) and/or as a status symbol, legitimizing their theft and occupation by aligning their status as worthy of transportation by palanquin to equal of native elites. During the 17-18th centuries, palanquins (see above) were very popular among European traders in Bengal, so much so that in 1758 an order was issued prohibiting their purchase by certain lower-ranking employees. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.206.142.82 (talk) 19:59, 27 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Pictures
