Annexation and the Unhappy Valley
Annexation and the Unhappy Valley: The Historical Anthropology of Sindh’s Colonization addresses the nineteenth century expansion and consolidation of British colonial power in the Sindh region of South Asia. It adopts an interdisciplinary approach and employs a fine-grained, nuanced and situated reading of multiple agents and their actions. It explores how the political and administrative incorporation of territory (i.e., annexation) by East India Company informs the conversion of intra-cultural distinctions into socio-historical conflicts among the colonized and colonizers. The book focuses on colonial direct rule, rather than the more commonly studied indirect rule, of South Asia. It socio-culturally explores how agents, perspectives and intentions vary—both within and across regions—to impact the actions and structures of colonial governance.

Fundamental Principal of Copyright
In our approach to the issue under consideration we have dealt with the enunciation of the concept of Copyright, and we have also considered the socio- cultural, scientific & economic applications and implications of the right, more specifically, in the digital context. As we all know change is intrinsic to 'society', which never remains static but is always evolving, and, from time to time, witnesses new developments in social, scientific and economic fields. Under the foregoing chapters of this work-up, we have discussed the development of digital technology and the Internet in 'scientific sphere', and how these scientific developments have created problems before the economics, the sociol...
Observing Sindh
During the first half of the nineteenth century the British quadrupled the size of their empire in South Asia. This break from pre-British to British South Asia resulted, in part, from superior arms, military organization and economic wealth. This process also relied on a liaison between knowledge and power: studying the lives and lands of would-be subjects usually pre-dated specific imperial expansions. To this end, Edward Patterson Del Hoste travelled to Sindh in 1831. A member of Henry Pottingers 1831-32 diplomatic mission to Hyderabad and Khyrpoor (now Khairpur), Del Hoste was a surveyor. He not only surveyed the villages and towns that the mission travelled through, but commented extens...
The Chartist General
General Charles James Napier was sent to confront the tens of thousands of Chartist protestors marching through the cities of the North of England in the late 1830s. A well-known leftist who agreed with the Chartist demands for democracy, Napier managed to keep the peace. In South Asia, the same man would later provoke a war and conquer Sind. In this first-ever scholarly biography of Napier, Edward Beasley asks how the conventional depictions of the man as a peacemaker in England and a warmonger in Asia can be reconciled. Employing deep archival research and close readings of Napier's published books (ignored by prior scholars), this well-written volume demonstrates that Napier was a liberal imperialist who believed that if freedom was right for the people of England it was right for the people of Sind -- even if "freedom" had to be imposed by military force. Napier also confronted the messy aftermath of Western conquest, carrying out nation-building with mixed success, trying to end the honour killing of women, and eventually discovering the limits of imperial interference.
