Talpur

Talpur (Balochi: تالپورء اۏبادگ‎) is a Sindhi speaking Baloch tribe[1][2] settled in Sindh, Punjab and Balochistan in Pakistan. The tribe established the Talpur dynasty, which ruled between 1783-1843, while a branch of the dynasty ruled until 1955 as the Khairpur princely state.

The Talpur Baloch served as soldiers of the Kalhora dynasty, but overthrew then at the Battle of Halani after the Kalhoras reportedly assassinated a Talpur Chief. Talpur rule over Sindh was established in 1783, with His Highness Mir Fateh Ali Khan Talpur as the new Amir. This brought an end to the ferocious fighting and the defeat of the ruling Kalhora by the Talpur tribes.[3]

Talpur dynasty

The Talpur dynasty (Urdu: سلسله تالپور‎) (Balochi: تالپورء اۏبادگ‎) was a dynasty of the Talpur Baloch tribe that conquered and ruled Sindh, and other parts of present-day Pakistan, from 1783 to 1843.

History

In the middle of the 18th century, in the Sindehili were feudal lords of Balochi tribe of the Talpurs, who were in vassalage from the Kalhoras. Taking advantage of the fact that the population was extremely is outraged by the tyranny of the Nawab (ruler) Abdullah Nabi Kalhor, the leaders of the Talpurs raised in June 1779 an uprising and ousted Abdullah Nabis, seized power. Nawab fled to Kandahar, hoping to find support with his suzerain Timur Shah.

Timur Shah agreed to help him, and in 1781 Abdullah Nabi with the assistance of The Afghan troops again became the ruler of Sind. However, fermentation in the country not only did not stop but broke out with renewed vigor. Relying on the support of the disaffected nawab population, the leader of the Talpurs Fatah Ali Khan expelled Abdullah Nabi from Sind in 1783. Sent Timur Shah to the aid of the rulers of Kalhor, a detachment of Afghan troops was defeated by the Balochs in 1786 near Shikarpur.

The Talpur dynasty was defeated by the British in 1843 at the Battle of Miani.
