The modern map of India has evolved over centuries through the contributions of various explorers, cartographers, and colonial powers. However, it was the British colonial period that significantly influenced the mapping of India, with figures like James Rennell, who produced the first detailed topographical map of India in the late 18th century. Prior to that, ancient Indian texts and maps, as well as works by foreign explorers like Marco Polo, contributed to the understanding of the region's geography. Thus, the "discovery" of the India map is a collective effort rather than attributed to a single individual.
