Synopsis
Central Asia, And Its Question, Etc by Sir Frederic John Goldsmid. This paper, presented as a Harrow School lecture on 18 March 1878, surveys the geography and politics of Central Asia and articulates the central question facing Britain’s Indian empire. Goldsmid defines Central Asia as the region between Europe and British India, restricting attention to areas east of the Caspian and west of Chinese territory, and concentrates on the Khanates of Khiva, Bokhara, Khokand, and Yarkand. He details the peoples of the Khanates—Uz?eks, Turkomans, Karakalpaks, Kazaks, Kirgiz, Sarts, Persians, Hindus, and Jews—and the hydrology that shapes them, notably the Amu Darya and Syr Darya. The narrative blends geography, travel lore, and history, tracing Russian expansion into Russian Turkistan and the rise of imperial influence, while outlining two intertwined questions: the geographical status of Central Asia and the political implications for Britain, Afghanistan, Persia, and China. The address closes with reflections on travel and diplomacy and a call for informed study to illuminate policy decisions.
