280. Partition: The Creation of Pakistan (Part 3)

Hello and welcome to Empire with me, Anita Arnhem. And me, William De Rumpel. Now we are on the third of our five partition stories. with Sam DeRimple. We are really sort of exploiting him for the knowledge that exists in this wonderful new book of his, Shattered Lands, Five Partitions.

Child labour. And the making of modern Asia. Hardly a child. He's a number one bestseller in India, where I believe you're at number five. Hello and I last note.

So in this episode, the last episode was utterly fascinating. It was a a terrain that is so little explored. And that is the way in which the Gulf states in the Arab Peninsula are subsumed in this idea of a greater India, this East India Company thing that doesn't even appear on maps that shows that, you know, some of these states that Sam talked about in the last episode were were deemed to be like princely states in India itself. Not deemed to be like princely states, they were princely states.
