Khairpur district of Sindh province of Pakistan
Short brief history of Khairpur district of Sindh province of Pakistan
Khairpur is a district in the Sindh province of Pakistan.The princely state of Khairpur was ruled by Talpur Mirs of the Talpur dynasty
from 1783 to 1955. In 1947, when Pakistan gained independence, Khairpur
was one of the princely states that opted to join Pakistan.
Khairpur is dotted with historical sites. The Kot Diji Fort, said to be built by the Talpurs, stands on a high hill with
massive walls surrounding an elaborate complex of exquisite homes,
ornate canopies, marbled courtyards, promenades and long corridors with
arched entryways. The corridors run along deep rooms which now lay dark
and can get infested with bats. Another architectural classic is the
Faiz Mahal, built in 1798 as the palace of the Talpur family in Khairpur
Mirs. Besides, there are other palaces, tomb sites in Kot Diji and the
surrounding areas. The present successor of the Talpur Dynasty, Mir Ali
Murad Khan Talpur, who acceded to the Pakistani state in 1956, is a
conservationist and has to his credit an impressive wildlife sanctuary
called the Mehrano, known for its black buck, and hog deer, both of which have become rare in Sindh.
