Description
Excerpt from The History of India: With Chapters on the Physical Geography; The Ancient and Modern Political Divisions and Places of Interest; And ''India in 1900,'' Its Peoples, Their Condition, Resources, Institutions and Forms of Imperial, Provincial, and Municipal Government
The Suleman mountains, running nearly north an<1 south to the west of the Indus, and parallel to that fiver, separate the plains of the Panjab from the Kabul plateau and Sewistan. Its highest peak, the takht-i-suleman, or Solomon''s Throne, is under feet. Southward the range becomes 188 s elevated, until at length it turns westward, to bound the plain leading up to the Bolan Pass - the great military and commercial road from India to Quetta, in British Baluchistan, and also to Kandahar, Herat, and Western Asia generally. From this pass, the 1189 range of mountains skirts the valley of the Indus on the west, almost to the sea.
From Karachi to Cape Comorin, the Indian Ocean is the boundary on the west and south-west; while from Cape Comorin to the confines of Burma the boundary is the Bay of Bengal on the east and south east.
