This article presents a postcolonial reading of Henry Pottinger's Travels in Beloochistan and Sinde (1816), a travelogue that played a significant role in imagining the British imperial project in South Asia. Far from being a neutral account, Pottinger's narrative constructs a colonial knowledge system through his Eurocentric representations of geography, ethnicity, language, and everyday life in Baluchistan and Sindh. By critically analyzing the text, this study reveals how colonial discourses of domination and cultural othering are embedded in Pottinger’s descriptions. The article draws on postcolonial theoretical frameworks to examine how such travel narratives contributed to the ideological underpinnings of empire, simultaneously shaping and justifying British expansionism in the region.
