Description
The Provincial Geography of India collection was established in the early 1900s to furnish the general public with introductory texts about the distinctive aspects of the diverse Indian provinces. This particular volume, originally printed in 1917, focuses on the region encompassing the districts of Bengal, Bihar, Orissa, and Sikkim. Similar to the other works in the series, it presents a highly comprehensible analysis that progresses through the various human and physical geographical characteristics of the area. The book also contains numerous illustrative materials such as maps, tables, and photographs. It is a valuable resource for individuals interested in Indian geography and the colonial era. In certain aspects, the Gangetic section of Bihar could be conveniently grouped with Bengal, while Chota Nagpur and Orissa are dissimilar in some aspects from both Bengal and each other, as they are still inadequately connected to natural lines of communication.
