Summary, etc.	"Beyond Empire II" delves into the complex history of Karachi during the British colonial era, starting from its annexation in 1843 until the end of British rule in 1947. The book examines how British colonial policies shaped the urban landscape, social structures, and economic conditions of Karachi. It discusses the transformation of Karachi from a modest port city into a bustling metropolis and highlights the interactions between various communities, including Sindhis, Muslims, Hindus, and others, during this period.<br/><br/>The author explores themes such as colonial governance, trade, migration, and the effects of political movements on the city’s identity. The book also addresses issues of nationalism, communal tensions, and the socio-economic challenges faced by the city and its inhabitants as they navigated the tides of change brought about by colonial rule. Throughout, "Beyond Empire II" provides a nuanced perspective on Karachi's historical significance and its role as a crossroads of different cultures and economies in South Asia.
