Summary:
This book bears a historical significance and is an essential prerequisite to understanding Indo-Pak history. It endeavors to identify the British advent in Sindh and the course of relationship that was established with the Talpur rulers. Such identifications and research work leads to study the bilateral relations of Sindh rulers with the British by analyzing the nature of the British interest in Sindh, a historical ravine of the land and its river, the mighty Indus. The book highlights the arrival of the British in the sub-continent first as traders and subsequently as invaders and rulers of South Asia for more than a century. Sindh had been destined to play a very pivotal role for being the main gateway to Central Asia. Its major trading city Shikarpur served as an important conduit of commercial significance whose traders were dealing with such lands as distant as Khiva, Summerkand and Bukhara on one hand, while on the other hand their business centers were operating smoothly at Bender Abbas, Bushire, Bom, Muscat and Aden as well. This book contributes toward a deeper study and assessment of British relations to South Asia.
