Major General Haig’s passionate memoir is an important document on the Indus Delta. Much of the route, contours and designations of the delta and up the mighty river are shrouded in controversy, and the modern-age geographer has not been able to decipher this code. Over centuries of neglect and international disputes, the mighty Indus River is no longer the formidable feature described in maritime trade and travel accounts; Sindh, as the lowest basin on the Indus, has suffered terribly due to this geographic change. Under the present conditions of climate change and largescale, international changes to our maritime infrastructure, this reprint is an important testimony to the central role the Indus Delta has played in the history of Sindh, and offers lessons on how this role may be carried forth into an unknown future.
