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. 517 3 $aCommunication & Colonialism in Eastern India 606 $aCommunication and traffic$zIndia$zBihar$xHistory 606 $aCommunication and traffic$xColonies$zGreat Britain$xHistory 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xAdministration$xHistory$y18th century 607 $aGreat Britain$xColonies$xAdministration$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aCommunication and traffic$xHistory. 615 0$aCommunication and traffic$xColonies$xHistory. 676 $a384.0954/12309034 700 $aSinha$b Nitin$01055754 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462342603321 996 $aCommunication and colonialism in Eastern India$92489390 997 $aUNINA
