I happened to come across this erstwhile Map of "India" while browsing Wikipedia for the Sino-Indian War.. The red regions are British-occupied territory, the yellow represent principalities and independent territories, interesting isn't it? Let's see if anyone can figure out which period this map belongs to. What first struck my mind was that this is where we came from and this is how we were organized once upon a time, how do we feel about ourselves today? Where do our allegiances lie?

Lovely find.. I was amazed by the railway connectivity, I think this must be at least 3-4 decades after the 1850s when the first railway line was laid..

yeah amazing isn't it.. i wonder whether some of those tracks are still there now.. if you've noticed, some of the lines just stop abruptly.. :)
