The excerpt for the question has been taken from the story “Ranga’s Marriage”, written by Masti Venkatesh Iyengar.
Hosahalli is a village in Karnataka, located in the former Mysore state.
The author in the story describes Hosahalli as a beautiful place with its mangoes as its main attractions.
However, he is upset that the Indian cartographer (map-maker) and the British cartographer did not mark Hosahalli in the map, when it was made years ago.
Thus, it was not mentioned in any geography book either. He gives a reason that the Sahibs in England were probably not aware that such a place existed in India.
