====Iraq==== Due to extreme congestion in [[Baghdad]] and other Iraqi cities combined with the insensible cost of vehicles in relation to frequent violence, rickshaws have been imported from India in large numbers to provide taxi service and other purposes, in stark contrast to previous attitudes of the [[2003 invasion of Iraq|pre-U.S. 2003 invasion]] eras with rickshaws being disdained and sedans being held in high regard as a status symbol. Rickshaws have been noted for being instrumental in political protest revolts.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/world/mundane-autos-in-india-hero-tuk-tuks-in-iraq-779539.html |title=Mundane autos in India, hero tuk-tuks in Iraq |work=[[Deccan Herald]] |date=25 November 2019 |access-date=31 January 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://theprint.in/global-pulse/how-indian-manufactured-auto-rickshaws-became-a-symbol-of-iraqi-protests/326463/ |title=How Indian manufactured auto-rickshaws became a symbol of Iraqi protests |work=[[ThePrint]] |last=Shukla |first=Srijan |date=26 November 2019 |access-date=31 January 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/in-congested-baghdad-iraqis-turn-to-3-wheel-tuk-tuks-/1286855 |title=In congested Baghdad, Iraqis turn to 3-wheel 'tuk-tuks' |work=[[Anadolu Agency]] |last=Alhas |first=Ali Murat}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/how-tuk-tuk-drivers-became-unlikely-heroes-iraq-s-popular-n1082021 |title=How tuk-tuk drivers became the unlikely heroes of Iraq's popular revolt |work=[[NBC News]] |last=Vitalone |first=Vivi |date=14 November 2024 |access-date=31 January 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2019/11/01/why-humble-tuk-tuk-has-become-symbol-iraqs-uprising/ |title=The humble three-wheeled tuk-tuk has become the symbol of Iraq's uprising |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]] |date=1 November 2024 |access-date=31 January 2024 |last1=Salim |first1=Mustafa |last2=Berger |first2=Miriam}}</ref>
