- This monograph is based on seven years of research, including approximately eighteen months in 14 archives in the UK, Egypt, Sudan, Singapore, Malaysia and India. Some primary sources were difficult to access, e.g. the Nizam’s governmental records in the Andhra Pradesh State Archives, Hyderabad, which were uncatalogued and required painstaking and time-consuming analysis, and several Urdu Hajj safar-namas (travelogues) in private and university libraries in Hyderabad and Delhi. The book was awarded the Institute of Commonwealth Studies' triennial Trevor Reese Memorial Prize for “the most innovative, wide-ranging and scholarly work of imperial history published in 2013, 2014 and 2015”.
