| Summary, etc | Hyderabad, British India, and the World: Muslim Networks and Minor Sovereignty, c. 1850–1950 examines the history of the princely state of Hyderabad during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Eric Lewis Beverley argues that Hyderabad was not merely a subordinate territory of the British Empire but possessed a distinct form of "minor sovereignty," enabling it to exercise meaningful authority over internal affairs while maintaining diplomatic, educational, and intellectual links with the wider Islamic world. The book explores how the rulers and administrators of Hyderabad fostered connections with Muslim scholars, reformers, and political leaders across the Middle East, Central Asia, and South Asia. It highlights the state's investment in education, law, public administration, and religious institutions, demonstrating how Hyderabad became an important centre of Islamic intellectual exchange and modern governance despite operating within the framework of British paramountcy. |
