About the book:- In order to place before the student of the Kashmir chronicle the results of these researches, as well as the evidence on which they were based the preparation of maps appeared necessary that would show the modern topography in full detail together with the ancient sites and local names identified. The preparation of new ground map to show on a sufficiently large scale, the details of the modern topography of Kashmir would have cost much trouble and entailed very heavy, almost prohibitory, expense. At the same time it had to be considered that there were no other materials available for such a map but those suplied by the Trignometrical survey operations in Kashmir (1856-1860). About the Author:- Sir Marc Aurel Stein, KCIE, FRAS, FBA (1862 – 1943) was a Hungarian-born British archaeologist, primarily known for his explorations and archaeological discoveries in Central Asia.
