History of first map of India
As historically many have claimed in relation to the creation of India's first map, but the exact answer to this question is a difficult task. In this article we are mentioning the names of three persons who had created maps of India in different periods.
1. Eratosthenes
2. Ptolemy
3. William Lambton and George Everest
Eratosthenes: In 300 BC the ruler of Greece Alexander the great ordered Greek mathematician Eratosthenes to prepare the map of India.
Ptolemy: After Eratosthenes, Ptolemy came to India. The map created by Ptolemy is slightly better than the Eratosthenes, but it also looks weird.
After that, in the 18th century British started to rule in India. In 1757, in the Battle of Plessey, the British defeated the ruler of Bengal Siraj-Ud-Daula. After conquering Bengal, the British wanted to collect taxes from the people of Bengal. But due to the lack of maps at that time, the British did not know the border region of Bengal properly. So they decided to prepare the map of India. For this work they appointed the geometry expert "Jack William Lambton", who was working in the British Army.
William Lambton: William Lampton started the work of making maps from the southernmost region of India, Madras. He used "simple triangle method" for this. Despite working for 18 consecutive years, Lambton could not even complete one-third of India's map. After that he took retirement and George Everest was appointed on his place.
George Everest: George Everest made the entire map of India and reached the Himalayan region in the north. Since the expansion of the Himalayas is also in Nepal and Tibet, but Nepal did not allow the British to enter their country, because they feared that the British would occupy their country just like India.
