Colonial penetration on Bahawalpur State forced its rulers to adopt new political and economic policies suitable to British interest. Resultantly, Bahawalpur experienced a wide range of changes to its socioeconomic conditions. Indigo sector is a useful indicator of such impact of British advent as indigo was major non-grain agricultural commercial product of State and it integrated distribution and consumption patterns across the Bahawalpur region and beyond. This paper seeks to draw a link between the British political hegemony in Bahawalpur to open up new vista for European traders and its catastrophic repercussions, the slump of lucrative indigo sector of Bahawalpur.
