About The Book -: Sind Revisited is a remarkable story of the author’s fascination. It is the story of an incredible journey too deep into the hearts of British India and the India and Sind. It is extra ordinary sensitive account of the author quest to uncover the secrets of the seven year. Richard Burton spent in India in the army of the East India company from 1842 to 1849. Here is drama and insight danger and revelation.The man who first applied to sind the nickname “ young Egypt” said , Perhaps without intending to do so, an uncommonly good thing. Nothing more whimsical than the general and superficial likeness of nature in the two “gifts of the sea,” Nile-land and Indus-land. Karachi and Alexandria, Haydarabad and Cairo, the flatroofed mud-villages which stud the country, the first Cataracts and the rapids about Sakhar-Bakar-Rohri and briefly the physical aspect of the valleys of the southern “sindhu,” or ocean-stream and of the northern Hapi or Tesh-Tesh have the family look which becomes brothers.
