This was a truly fascinating talk from someone who took the efforts to explore these historical treasures right in our backyard. Had no clue the Bangalore was the location of the first base line for GTS before the more accurate Madras base line measurement.
Highly recommend everyone to take a look at Udaya's excellent presentation rich with his own research and documentation from visits to the original survey locations and benchmarks. http://issuu.com/udayakumarp.l/docs/the_story_of_the_bangalore_baseline Thank you Aruna for posting this, and nice meeting you again!
