The only way I found the enclave pillars in India was to ask locals. They <br/>
knew. They even knew where pillars used to be that outsiders had dug up and <br/>
carried off.<br/>
This was exteremely useful because the only maps showing the pillars are <br/>
16inch (1:4,000) surveys from the 1930s and totally unavailable.<br/>
1-inch british mapping from the 30s was good, but showed no pillars and was <br/>
too small scale for many enclaves anyway.<br/>
Current 50k mapping is unavailable and very poor quality.<br/>
So i asked locals where the enclavew boundary was, and what they showed me <br/>
tallied with my own information.<br/>
Of course, never ask a taxi driver, rickshaw puller or anyone else likely to <br/>
know where places are. Ask an illiterate peasant farmer instead.<br/>
Always works for me.<br/>
