The volume explores the changing relationship between trade, transport and mobility in India, as evident in the trading and mercantile networks operating at various scales of the economy. Of crucial importance to this study are the ways in which knowledge about roads and routes was collected through practices of travel, tours, surveys, and map-making, all of which benefited the state in its attempts to structure a regime that would regulate ‘undesirable’ forms of mobility.Communication & Colonialism in Eastern IndiaCommunication and trafficIndiaBiharHistoryCommunication and trafficColoniesGreat BritainHistoryGreat BritainColoniesAdministrationHistory18th centuryGreat BritainColoniesAdministrationHistory19th centuryCommunication and trafficHistory.Communication and trafficColoniesHistory.384.0954/12309034Sinha Nitin1055754UkCbUPUkCbUPBOOK9910462342603321Communication and colonialism in Eastern India2489390UNINA
