Nothing much to write at present. However, check this news here. The so called rationalist discards many things which are old. There are scholars who question the very boundaries of India before 1947 (read medievalists on India History). Similarly, there are political thinkers even others who point out that the term 'nation' is a new notion which Adam Smith used in his Wealth of Nation in 1797. But the cartographers saw differently. I have not visited the exhibit but I can visualize what is being displayed there.
