This examination of the formally autonomous state of Hyderabad in a
global comparative framework challenges the idea of the dominant
British Raj as the sole sovereign power in the late colonial
period. Beverley argues that Hyderabad's position as a subordinate
yet sovereign 'minor state' was not just a legal formality, but
that in exercising the right to internal self-government and acting
as a conduit for the regeneration of transnational Muslim
intellectual and political networks, Hyderabad was indicative of
the fragmentation of sovereignty between multiple political
entities amidst empires. By exploring connections with the Muslim
world beyond South Asia, law and policy administration along
frontiers with the colonial state, and urban planning in expanding
Hyderabad City, Beverley presents Hyderabad as a locus for
experimentation in global and regional forms of political
modernity. This book recasts the political geography of late
imperialism and historicises Muslim political modernity in South
Asia and beyond.
