		India is rich in archælogical monuments of various kinds, and presents a remarkable variety of architectural works of highest excellence, embodying the history of the past.
		In the last respect the Government of India cannot be said to be partial to Christians as compared with non-Christians; since it spends large sums of State money over a number of non-Christian religious edifices and institutions in continuance and perpetuation of the practice of their predecessors in the government of the country.

		India seemed almost totally unaware that she was heavily outnumbered along the border and that China (unlike India) was well prepared logistically and well versed in alpine warfare tactics.

	H-Net Review: Douglas M. Peers on Making History, Drawing Territory: British Mapping in India, c.1765-1905
		The fourth stage emerged in the late nineteenth century: in what Barrow terms romantic history, maps from this period, particularly of the lands beyond India's northern and northwestern frontier, came to rely upon scientifically suspect yet romantically charged route surveys produced by Indian pandits who ventured into unknown lands on behalf of the British.
		In the former, a detailed, expensive yet comprehensive trigonometrical survey was undertaken, but this was not the case in Ceylon where the seductions of a "big science" approach were apparently lost on local officials.
		This suggests that the situation in India was quite unique, which reminds us yet again of the difficulty of extrapolating from India to the empire and vice versa.

		This book explores the history of cartography in colonial India, combining a study of representation with an in-depth analysis of power and imperial control.
		However, these maps of India were more than just means of legitimizing colonial rule; they also helped to fashion a sense of what it meant to be British, contributing to the strengthening of a British imperial national identity.
		As the author demonstrates, the maps--through their skilled interweaving of history, territory, and national identity--proved to be powerful instruments of propaganda in the hands of the modern colonial state.
