Description

The maps of a country are not only indicators of its political life but also illustrate its social and economic conditions. Indian Cartography: A Historical Perspective traces the evolution of Indian maps from the time when India was only a concept in the minds of ancient peoples to the coming of the British, who established cartography on a scientific basis. Based on the original records of the Government of India, this detailed and comprehensive book fills a long-standing gap in the study of Indian cartography.
