	Sir Charles James Napier - LoveToKnow 1911
		SIR CHARLES JAMES NAPIER (1782-1853), British soldier and statesman, was born at Whitehall, London, in 1782, being the eldest son of Colonel George Napier (a younger son of the fifth lord Napier), and of his wife, the Lady Sarah Lennox who had charmed King George III.
		Napier thereupon, refusing promotion to the residency of Zante, retired in disgust, living for some years in the south of England and, after the death of his wife in 1833, in Normandy.
		He was to be accompanied by James Outram, who had been resident in Sind during the Afghan War, and who felt a great admiration for him, but who had also a warm affection for the amirs, and believed that he could put off the day of their destruction.

		Only five hundred of Napier's forces were white; the rest were natives whose loyalty and reliability under fire were always a source of concern to the English.
		Napier received reinforcements, and on March 24th he attacked Shir Muhammad, "the Eion of Mirpur," at the hamlet of Dubba, where he sent his five thousand men against the Sindhis' 26,000.
		Napier had remarked later to Burton that the mizra "did as much towards the conquest of Scinde as a thousand men," for as a fellow Muslim he was able to enter the enemy camps and bribe some of their best forces to desert the battlefield.

		But even many of the most loyal and devoted citizens of Karachi today had no notion as to who Sir Charles Napier was.
		Or how a small fishing hamlet was transformed into one of the premier commercial ports of the British Raj, or the pivotal role it played during the Pakistan Movement, or how it became the first capital of post-empire Pakistan and eventually the thriving, albeit cumbersome and sprawling metropolis it is today.
		The resurrection of colonial Karachi is a tribute to the city’s former glory, and has, perhaps, made many realise what Karachiwallahs are capable of in the future.
