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 English also wanted geographical information on the lands further north. This was not just out of scientific curiosity The Russia ns were attempting to expand their empire into Central Asia , and the English feared that they might have set their eyes on gaining the riches of India, which was at that time a British colony. Thus, the Russians and the English both tried to extend their influence in Asia. Knowledge of geography of the region was of course of utmost importance in this so called The Great Game Great Game . However, in some regions these surveys seemed impossible. Some of the Indian border countries, in particular Tibet , would not allow westerners to enter their country, let alone a British surveying team. In the 1860s, Thomas George Montgomerie Thomas G. Montgomerie , a captain in the survey, realised that the solution to this problem would be to train natives from Indian border states such as Sikkim to be surveyors, and have them explore the region. These would raise less suspicion than Europeans, and might be able to make observations disguised as a trader or a lama holy man . These native surveyors are called pundits. 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.
