[Talk-in] Bangalore and its connection with the Great Trigonometric Survey

[Arun Ganesh]

This was a truly fascinating talk from someone who took the efforts to
explore these historical treasures right in our backyard. Had no clue the
Bangalore was the location of the first base line for GTS before the more
accurate Madras base line measurement.

Highly recommend everyone to take a look at Udaya's excellent presentation
rich with his own research and documentation from visits to the original
survey locations and benchmarks.
