About this Item

Spying for the Raj: The Pundits and the Mapping of the Himalaya by Unknown is a significant work that delves into Exploration of British spies during the Raj, focusing on intelligence gathering and mapping efforts. It provides an in-depth analysis of Spying, British Empire, Raj, Intelligence. In the 1860s, Captain Thomas Montgomerie trained natives to be surveyors, and had them explore the region covertly. These men, known as pundits, were disguised as lamas (holy men). This book talks about these servants of the Raj who managed to map the Himalayas and Tibet, helping the British to consolidate their rule in the Indian sub-continent.
