This book is the first of its kind to chart the terrain of
contemporary India's many place names. It explores different 'place
connections', investigates how places are named and renamed, and
looks at the forces that are remaking the future place name map of
India. Lucid and accessible, this book explores the bonds between
names, places and people through a unique amalgamation of toponomy,
history, mythology and political studies within a geographical
expression. This volume addresses questions on the status and value
of place names, their interpretation and classification. It brings
to the fore the connections between place names and the cultural,
geographical and historical significations they are associated
with. This will be an essential read for scholars and researchers
of geography, law, politics, history and sociology, and will also
be of interest to policy-makers, administrators and the common
reader interested in India.
