About the Book

: In the narrative of "Travels in Beloochistan and Sinde," the author details the expedition led by Captain Charles Christie and Lieutenant Henry Pottinger in 1810. Adopting the guise of Tartar horse-dealers, they embarked on an exploration of Baluchistan, commencing their journey from Bombay and making anchor near Sonmiani in Sindh. The primary objective was to evaluate the potential threat of European powers invading British Indian territories. The narrative vividly depicts their experiences, encompassing the reception at Sonmeany, interactions with Bezunja Belooches, and the subsequent passage to Kelat. The author imparts valuable insights into the geography, population, and customs of the regions, emphasizing the distinctions between the Belooches and their neighboring communities. The journey unfolds through engaging anecdotes, encountered challenges, and astute observations, presenting a compelling chronicle of the uncharted territories explored by these disguised adventurers. About the Author: Lieutenant-General Sir Henry Pottinger (1789–1856), the first Governor of Hong Kong, served as an Anglo-Irish soldier and colonial administrator. Under Sir John Malcolm's orders, Pottinger explored the Indus-Persia lands in disguise, studying languages. In 1809, he participated in the Third Anglo-Maratha War, and in 1810, he undertook an East India Company-funded expedition with Charles Christie, mapping Balochistan and Persia due to fears of French invasion in India. Pottinger later rose to Colonel, became Resident Administrator of Sindh in 1820, held a similar post in Hyderabad, and was made a baronet in 1839 upon returning to England. His notable work includes "Travels in Beloochistan and Sinde" (1816).
