Book excerpt: Essay from the year 2024 in the subject History - Asia, , language: English, abstract: This paper delves into the cultural and geological heritage of Sindh, a province in Pakistan with a history that traces back to the Mohenjo-Daro civilization in 2500 BC. Sindh’s rich cultural tapestry is woven from influences of immigrants from northern India, Gujarat, Punjab, Arab countries, and Baluchistan. The province, with an area of 47,569 square miles, is bordered by Bhawalpur in the north, the Arabian Sea in the south, the Hallar range in the east, and a sandy desert in the west. Geologically, Sindh’s landscape has been shaped by significant epochs, with the Indus River playing a pivotal role long before the Himalayas' formation. This study highlights the importance of Sindh in both national and international heritage protection strategies due to its unique historical and natural resources. The enduring silhouette of Sindh, marked by the ancient Indus River, reflects its significance in the timeline of human civilization.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few regions have shaped the world's history as deeply as South Asia. The birthplace of three of the world's major religions-Hinduism, Buddhism, and Sikhism-the Indian subcontinent has made indelible contributions to the world, from foods such as curry and granulated sugar to the performance of meditation and yoga, from the architectural magnificence of the Taj Mahal to the binary system of numbers. In this accessible book, Marc Jason Gilbert takes us on a journey through South Asia's fascinating history, starting with the blossoming of the Harappan civilization in the fertile Indus valley more than four thousand years ago. Following the routes of the cotton, tea, and opium trade that connected the West and the East throughout history, Gilbert describes South Asia's classical Hindu and Buddhist empires, the coming of Islam to South Asia, the local impact of the Mongol invasions, the splendors of the Mughal Empire, the expansion of British colonial dominion, and the development of South Asian modern nations-Nepal, Pakistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, the Maldives, and Myanmar-in the twentieth century. The book concludes with a timely reflection on the contradictory face of contemporary South Asia. Although the region has produced some of the world's most iconic leaders of non-violent protest-Mahatma Gandhi, Arundhati Roy, Mother Teresa, and Aung San Suu Kyi-severe social divisions and injustice persist in most South Asian countries. Simultaneously, extraordinary economic growth is deeply transforming South Asian societies and may enable them to rival the United States and China as the world's largest economies. Gilbert's transnational perspective illuminates how world historical processes-from changes in the environment and the economy to the movement of peoples and ideas-have shaped and continue to shape the history of South Asia and its place in the wider world.
