A veritably painstaking effort, Mapping India seeks to chart the cartographic history or the evolution of mapping in India, bringing together some of the noteworthy maps which have depicted India since the advent of Europeans 500 years ago.  The maps here have had a seminal influence on the cartography of India till about its independence.

Recounting the story of India through maps, Mapping India tries to reproduce the earliest chronicles of India to its post-independence strides.  The maps, included here, highlight the very rationale behind them -- their significance whether in representing an event or place in the life of the nation, an important discovery, a political upheaval, a battle that changed the course of its history, or a general state of affairs.  Included here are maps that emphatically reflect the changing social and political fortunes of India.  Here are maps that speak of the commercial interests of East India Company and of its wars that led to the colonization of India.  Also seen in these maps are the changed courses of rivers, routes taken by armies, places where famines occurred, how the highest peaks were conquered and, besides a lot else, the momentous episodes from India’s epic struggle for independence.

It is a city of mysterious eternity, whose old ruins seem to evoke a glorious past and whose present pulsates vibrantly with the ever-flowing life of India. It is now a hundred years, when the British shifted the capital from Calcutta to Delhi. Celebrating the centenary of this historic event, the book traces Delhi’s journey from 1638, when the Mughal Emperor Shahjahan built Red Fort and Shahjahanabad to New Delhi, the new capital of the British-ruled India since 1911. Though there seems no affinity between the ‘garden city’ of New Delhi and the 17th century ‘Old Delhi’, yet when one looks deeper, Shahjahan’s city and the British capital were both the result of a passion for building: both imperial in scale and designed to awe
