Geographical presentation of the indian subcontinent

Back to Introduction to the Method of Geographical Presentation

All parts of traditional India will be included under this heading and this means that present day Pakistan, Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan and Sri Lanka will be involved. Please note that this area is approximately the same size as the Near East and much of it lies at the same latitude. The Indus River valley, site of one of the world’s earliest civilizations, is now in Pakistan, while the second great Indian River, the Ganges, terminates, in part, in Bangladesh. As we shall emphasize in the text, this subcontinent contains an almost unbelievable mixture of peoples, languages, customs and religions.
