Dear Junior Geologist, DEM data of India is a military secret in India. The only known source of 1:50,000 scale topographic data (not from the Survey of India) are the old USSR's military topo map series of India. It's expensive, but you can get it out of the Netherlands. Be careful though, since you are inside of India's borders, it is a crime against the National Secrecy Act to possess that data in India. You can go to jail if you are caught with the stuff, or if it's discovered on your computer/workstation. This topic is one that has caused (and still causes) a great deal of heartburn within the GIS Community in India. That is an internal concern to the citizens of India, and a problem that can only be addressed through your own internal Parlimentary process of your National Government. In the meantime, be careful what you ask for. You might get it. Clifford J.
