First edition thus of this map of Bangalore prepared under the auspices of the Survey of India Office of the Director in the opening years of World War I. This remarkable topographical map featuring a scale of 1” to 1 mile is based on the surveys first launched by William Lambton in the 19th Century known as the Great Trigonometrical Survey of India led successively by Lambton George Everest Andrew Waugh and James Walker. These fulfilled the premise that geodetic survey was the only option for accurate maps of large areas and much of this work in the survey of India was based upon the base lines in Bangalore originally measured by Warren and the base lines of Kumta by De Penning.

1929réf. 219671929. Government of India An Act to Restrain the Solemnisation of Child Marriages 1929 documents the legal system created to restrict child marriage in British India and supports research into women's rights colonial law childhood and social reform in South Asia.

Official pamphlet printing of Act No. XIX of 1929 passed by the Indian Legislature and assented to by the Governor General on October 1 1929. The Act defines "child" "child marriage" "contracting party" and "minor" sets age thresholds for boys under eighteen and girls under fourteen and establishes penalties for adult men contracting child marriages as well as for those who solemnize arrange or permit such ceremonies. Its jurisdiction extends across British India including British Baluchistan and the Santhal Parganas with enforcement beginning April 1 1930. The printed price of "1 anna or 1½d" indicates official distribution for public and administrative use. The pamphlet documents a legal enforcement system for marriage reform through statutory age limits criminal penalties and responsibility assigned to adult men parents priests and other facilitators demonstrating the process by which colonial law entered debates over gender childhood and personal status. The timing is significant because Indian social reformers and women's rights advocates used the late colonial legal arena to challenge early marriage and forced domestic subordination.
