(Historians have so far made few attempts to assess direct...)
Historians have so far made few attempts to assess directly the costs and benefits of Britain's investment in empire. This book presents answers to some of the key questions about the economics of imperialism: how large was the flow of finance to the empire? How great were the profits on empire investment? What were the social costs of maintaining the empire? Who received the profits, and who bore the costs? The authors show that colonial finance did not dominate British capital markets; returns from empire investment were not high in comparison to earnings in the domestic and foreign sectors; there is no evidence of continued exploitative profits; and empire profits were earned at a substantial cost to the taxpayer. They depict British imperialism as a mechanism to effect an income transfer from the tax-paying middle class to the elites in which the ownership of imperial enterprise was heavily concentrated, with some slight net transfer to the colonies in the process.

(One of the major paradoxes of the nineteenth century was ...)
One of the major paradoxes of the nineteenth century was the continued growth of the British Empire at a time when the home authorities opposed expansion. The annexation of the Indian state of Sindh in 1843 is a notable examples of forces which abetted this situation. Huttenback's study of British relations with an independent Sindh from 1799 to 1843 provides valuable insight into the complexities of nineteenth-century British imperialism Here is a thorough investigation of British activities in Sindh after 1799, the actual conquest, and subsequent repercussions. Huttenback presents the whole scope of British relations with Sindh from 1799 to 1843 without sacrificing the pre-annexation issues to the more romantic circumstances surrounding Sir Charles Napier and the conquest. The author is acutely aware of the dominant influences of individuals in Sindh during this critical period. The motives, characteristics, and actions of major personalities are expertly drawn. He devotes great care to an honest appraisal of the role of Sir Charles Napier, commander of the British troops in Sindh and responsible for the eventual conquest of Sindh. However, the author point out that, "Actually Napier was only the last if most important actor in a drama the significance of which has never been duly appreciated." The period involved is less than fifty years and in this short interval virtually all the factors which prompted British expansion on continents and in places far removed from the Indus Valley manifested themselves in Sindh. Among these were considerations of trade, communications, and defense, all of which fostered tensions between Great Britain and Sindh. But of prime importance was the great power of the "man on the spot," and it was the arrival of Sir Charles Napier which spurred events inexorably toward hostilities.

(The conflict between India and Pakistan over Kashmir has ...)
The conflict between India and Pakistan over Kashmir has not only blighted their relationship, destroyed the legendary tranquillity of the valley, but has and is a major threat to world peace. It is not sufficiently realised that the roots of this unhappy set of circumstances lies in the history of Kashmir as a princely state. It was the only such entity of significance during the British period, where a largely Muslim population was ruled by Hindu line of princes who were not generous or sympathetic in their attitudes. Relationships were strained between the British Raj and the Maharaja and between him and his subjects from the first, but they exploded into violence in the years of developing nationalism after the First World War and particularly after partition.
