About This Book

This survey offers a comprehensive regional study combining physical geography, natural history, and human geography of the Panjab, the North-West Frontier and Kashmir. It describes mountains, rivers, climate, geology, flora and fauna, population composition, languages, religions, education, transport, irrigation and agriculture, local crafts, trade, and archaeological remains, and traces political and administrative developments from early to modern periods. Chapters treat district and native-state organization, forest and mineral resources, and city and notable-site descriptions, supported by maps, tables, and illustrations to provide a systematic reference for officials and general readers.
