Descriere

During the 1800s, the East India Company consolidated its rule in India. In desperate need of knowledge about this territory and its population, the company appointed Colin Mackenzie as the first Surveyor General of India. Unearthing the Past to Forge the Future explores the life and career of Mackenzie, and his massive survey of India.
