Review
Manosi Lahiri's Mapping India will engage, inspire and enthrall an untapped reader base of wannabe cartographers and history buffs to the rare treasures that size up the contours and corners of subcontinental India.--Fiona Fernandez "Mid-Day, January 25, 2012"
Mapping India contains a wealth of illustrations, from a 15th-century map based on Ptolemy's "Cosmographia" to the red dividing lines drawn by Cyril Radcliffe in 1947. The maps from the intervening centuries serve as a fascinating visual history of the creation of the modern Indian state.-- "The Economist, March 24, 2012"
The distinguished Indian geographer Manosi Lahiri poses a number of intriguing questions in this sumptuous book.--Stephen R. Fox "The Portolan, Spring 2014"
The maps that Lahiri presents in her widely researched book are alluring and piquant, taking the reader back almost to the mythical imagining of a land with four dhams or pilgrimage centers at its four corners.--Bhaswati Charkavorty "Telegraph, March 30, 2012"
This magnificent publication will fill many gaps in our knowledge of the mapping of India. Dr Lahiri is a well-respected geographer, who has studied in Calcutta, SOAS London and Delhi, and her deep knowledge of both the geography of India as well as its history shows throughout.--Susan Gole "IMCOS International Map Collectors' Society, Summer 2012"
Through this book, Lahiri has brought to light the delightful art of map-making. Mapping India can be best described as a labour of love. With over 160 coloured maps and photographs, it is a visual treat.--Ektaa Malik "Pioneer, January 21, 2012"
