This is a study of 19th-century colonial rule in the Pakistani
province of Sind. It investigates the alliance between the British
administration and the Muslim-landed magnates known as Waderos, who
dominated the countryside. The book offers a picture of the
day-to-day realitites of the rural power structure, illustrating
Waderos' relationships with each other, their peasant neighbours,
their landless labourers, their Hindu bankers, the police and
British district officers. This work aims to give a contribution to
British India, and the economic and political evolution of agrarian
society in the subcontinent generally. Its findings offer insights
into the emergence of the elites which govern present-day Pakistan.
