To the random eye the lines he drew from his remote perch, on the map of British India, appeared to follow no rational path. Barring brief interludes of lucidity - when Murshidabad was given to India to open a passage between north and south Bengal – the exercise might seem like a drunken stupour across a massive cartographic sheet. Or even, for the sheer volume of the upheaval it caused, the uncontrolled meander of a river in spate, bringing calamity and destruction in its wake.- Reproduced   aThe Indian Police Journal
