The work explores the intricate relationships between geography and history, particularly how physical landscapes have shaped the movements of peoples and the development of ancient civilizations in the Indian hinterland. The author delves into the historical significance of the regions bordering India, especially focusing on explorations into Afghanistan and Baluchistan. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on the interdependence of history and geography, asserting that understanding the latter is pivotal for unraveling the complexities of historical events in India and its frontiers. Holdich outlines his personal experiences and accumulated knowledge from two decades of official expeditions, intending to shed light on the historical pathways and cities that constitute the "landward gates" of India. He also expresses a desire to present his original insights alongside the accounts of prior explorers, highlighting the essential role of geographic conditions in shaping the historical narrative of the region.
