Willoughby's Minute describes events that surround the 1842 Treaty of Nownahar. This genealogy does not focus on Britain's aggressive anti-Russian imperial policy in Afghanistan (i.e., the Great Game). Instead, it demonstrates how a local treaty-that did not involve the British directly-contextualizes Sindh's annexation and the institutional relationship between civil and military authority within the East India Company.
