Rivers, hills and tea gardens meet shifting borders and imperial strategy in this vivid portrait of Assam at the height of the Raj. Assam takes centre stage here. First published in the era of British India, Physical and Political Geography of the Province of Assam brings together detailed observation, administrative insight and cartographic thinking to form a landmark regional geography book, historical geography study, and assam geography reference book. Moving from valleys and plateaux to districts, trade routes and frontier zones, it links assam physical geography with assam political history, revealing how terrain, resources and climate shaped the structures of british assam administration and the wider story of colonial northeast india. More than a dry gazetteer, this classic colonial india monograph doubles as a colonial india history textbook and assam history book, invaluable to readers interested in british colonial assam, british india geography, environmental change, borders, and the making of modern North-East India. Its clear, methodical arrangement makes it accessible to curious general readers, while historians, geographers and collectors will appreciate it as a primary document of policy, power and place. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure.
