Mapping India presents an overview of important maps that eloquently reflect the changing social and political fortunes of India. These maps speak of the commercial interests and wars that led to the colonization of India, and show territories the size of countries that were conquered, ceded or controlled through treaties. They also record changed courses of rivers, routes taken by armies, people living in communities in new cities, places where famines occurred, how the highest peak was discovered and named, when native royalty gathered to pay respect to the British Emperor, and the destination to which Mahatma Gandhi marched with his supporters for the salt satyagraha. From the earliest chronicles of India to its post-Independence strides, Mapping India is the story of India recounted through its maps.

In this fascinating history of the British surveys of India, Matthew H. Edney relates how imperial Britain used modern survey techniques to not only create and define the spatial image of its Empire, but also to legitimate its colonialist activities. "There is much to be praised in this book. It is an excellent history of how India came to be painted red in the nineteenth century. But more importantly, Mapping an Empire sets a new standard for books that examine a fundamental problem in the history of European imperialism."—D. Graham Burnett, Times Literary Supplement "Mapping an Empire is undoubtedly a major contribution to the rapidly growing literature on science and empire, and a work which deserves to stimulate a great deal of fresh thinking and informed research."—David Arnold, Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth History "This case study offers broadly applicable insights into the relationship between ideology, technology and politics. . . . Carefully read, this is a tale of irony about wishful thinking and the limits of knowledge."—Publishers Weekly

Focusing specifically on the poetic construction of India, ‘Mapping the Nation’ offers a broad selection of poetry written by Indians in English during the period 1870–1920. Centering upon the “mapping” of India – both as a regional location and as a poetic ideal – this unique anthology presents poetry from various geographical nodal points of the subcontinent, as well as that written in the imperial metropole of England, to illustrate how the variety of India’s poetical imagining corresponded to the diversity of her inhabitants and geography.

In India, a significant majority of farmers, specifically small and marginal ones, hold 86 percent of operational land and cover 47 percent of the operating area. These farmers encounter challenges in production and post-production stages, such as accessing technology, quality inputs at reasonable prices, seed production, custom hiring, value addition, processing, credit, investments, and crucially, markets. Farmer producer companies (FPOs) are emerging as effective tools for building integrated value chains, aiming to address these challenges and ensure better income for farmers. While around 7,000 FPOs were registered by 2019, many became defunct. Learning from this, the government initiated the promotion of 10,000 FPOs with various incentives in the 2018-19 budget. These measures, including equity support, credit guarantees, and expense coverage, aim to create sustainable FPOs, contingent on effective management, financial literacy, profitability, and tangible benefits for members. The book focuses on evaluating the performance and sustainability of Farmer Producer Companies through 16 chapters, offering valuable insights for stakeholders such as FPOs, policymakers, agro-entrepreneurs, bankers, and agricultural students.
