Subject: Slope map of India (electronic)

One of our students is trying to track down an *electronic* (online or
otherwise) slope map of India, similar to the Russia/China/Mongolia one
at
http://www.iiasa.ac.at/Research/LUC/GIS/giswebpage/documents/slope.htm.


He found a large paper map in the National Atlas of India (1983; Vol. 2,
Plate 44) that shows 16 different color-coded slope variations (both
land and submarine), ranging from VERY STEEP SLOPE (more than 600 metres
per kilometre) to FLAT (2 to 10 metres per kilometre).  He's hoping to
find something similar in electronic format.  (The map in the atlas was
originally issued by the Ministry of Education and Youth Services,
Government of India, 1963.  It also reads "Source: Survey of India
maps."  The scale is 1:6,000,000.).

I have searched the National Informatics Centre and Natural Resources
Data Management System (of India) web sites without success.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
