"From Colonial Zero Mile to Karaundi's Ashoka Pillar – Tracing the Shifting Geographical Heart of Independent Modern India"
Nagpur is historically known as the geographical centre of India, marked by the iconic Zero Mile Stone. Erected by the British, this sandstone monument features a pillar and four majestic horses, and was used to measure distances across colonial India. The pillar has carvings of distances to major cities, reinforcing Nagpur’s central importance.

Following the Partition, India’s topography changed, and the geographical centre shifted from Nagpur to Karaundi in Madhya Pradesh.
