from Peter Hopkirk 1983 Trespassers on the Roof of the World DEFAULTSORT PunditExplorer Category ...The term pundit or pandit was used in the second half of the 19th century to denote native surveyors who explored regions to the north of India for the British. One of the greatest projects of 19th century geography was the Great Trigonometric Survey of India . The British also wanted geographical information on the lands further north.

A number of tricks were developed to enable the pundits to make their observations without being found out. They were trained to make exactly 2,000 paces to the mile. To count them, they used what looked like a Buddhist rosary , called a Buddhist prayer beads mala , but instead of the usual ... wheel did not hold the usual Buddhist prayer om mani padme hum , but maps and notes.
