Abstract	This paper examines the historical development of trade routes and market systems in the Bundelkhand region of central India, covering both the medieval era and early modern periods. It explores how the geography of Bundelkhand, its mineral and agricultural resources, and its position between larger regions shaped internal and external commerce. The study analyses the types of markets (haats, bazaars, mandis), the trading communities, the flow of goods, and the decline/transition of trade under colonial rule. It argues that Bundelkhand's commerce was integrally linked with its markets and routes, and that understanding these systems is vital to comprehending the region's socio-economic history.
Keywords	Bundelkhand, trade routes, markets, haat, bazaar, medieval India, commerce.
