This panel will discuss the history and politics of colonial power in the Indus Basin. The concept of "colonial power" is understood not only in terms of the history of South Asia, but also as a concept to understand the violence of state authority and uneven geographical development in the present. Dr. Daniel Haines (Bristol) and Dr. Majed Akhter (KCL) work at the intersection of environmental history, historical geography, and political geography.
