Historic Akhand Bharat Map at Madrasa Irfanul Uloom in Disrepair

• A pre-independence concrete map of Akhand Bharat (undivided India) at Madrasa Irfanul Uloom in Chandauli is in a dilapidated state.
• Built around 1933 by geography teacher Mu. Jalil, it aimed to teach students about India's geography, rivers, and mountains.
• The map uniquely depicts Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Pakistan as parts of Akhand Bharat.
• Its precise construction allows water poured at one end to flow accurately along the depicted rivers.
• Once a vital educational tool, the map now requires government attention for preservation as a heritage site.
