MAPPING THE COURSE OF HISTORY

A pre-Independence era map of India under the British published in the Illustrated Weekly in the early ’40s. The map has been carefully preserved by Sundaramma, a resident of Lakshmipuram area in Mysore. For some years, the map was folded and kept away. Only later, her husband, late A K Ranga Rao, decided the map will adorn their teapoy, where it has remained. The map details Baluchistan, Kashmir, Sind, Punjab, Rajputana, United Provinces, Central Provinces, Hyderabad, Bombay, Madras, Mysore and other territories of undivided India
