[edit] Book or object?
A recent edit to this article has changed it from an article about the Great Hedge to an article about a book about the Great Hedge. This would make sense if there were some dispute about the existence of the hedge, but as far as I know there is none. It certainly does not appear to be fictional or a hoax, as there are multiple primary sources, even available on the Web, which are independent of Moxham. See my edits.
On the other hand, the usual contemporary name for this customs barrier was apparently the "Inland Customs Line", not the "Great Hedge of India", a name popularized by Moxham. But that name appears to have caught on in subsequent references, so it seems OK to use it as the main title (I have also added a redirect from Inland Customs Line). --Macrakis 19:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
