The Center for International History in collaboration with the Institute for Comparative Literature and Society presents:

“The Tyranny of the Dotted Line, or a Tale of Three Maps.”

The eighteenth century saw a remarkable proliferation of mapping and surveying vocabularies in Gujarat. The A close look at three map artefacts reveals how Gujarat’s shifting political and legal regimes produced surprising tensions in what should have been corresponding shifts in cartographic conventions.

Samira Sheikh is Associate Professor of History at Vanderbilt University. She is the author of Forging a Region: Sultans, Traders and Pilgrims in Gujarat, 1200-1500 (Oxford India, 2010)
