Claude Markovits tells the story of two groups of Hindu merchants
from the towns of Shikarpur and Hyderabad in the province of Sind.
Basing his account on previously neglected archival sources, the
author charts the development of these communities, from the
pre-colonial period through colonial conquest and up to
independence, describing how they came to control trading networks
throughout the world. While the book focuses on the trade of goods,
money and information from Sind to the widely dispersed locations
of Kobe, Panama, Bukhara and Cairo, it also throws light on the
nature of trading diasporas from South Asia in their interaction
with the global economy. This is a sophisticated and accessible
book, written by one of the most distinguished economic historians
in the field. It will appeal to scholars of South Asia, as well as
to colonial historians and to students of religion.
