“The map, according to Vivekananda, can create only curiosity for first-hand knowledge of the place and can communicate only a vague conception of its reality. Maps are in no way equivalent to the direct knowledge of the country, gathered by actually being there.”

Anantanand Rambachan (1951) Hindu studies scholar

Maps are in no way equivalent to the direct knowledge of the country, gathered by actually being there.
