Mian Shahul Mouhammed Kalhoro

Mian Shahul Mouhammed Kalhoro: (urdu) ميان شاهال محمد خان کلھوڑو : was the famous king of the Kalhora Dynasty that ruled Sindh from 1701 to 1783.

History

On his death, Mián Iliás was succeeded by his brother Sháh Alí better known as Sháhal Muhammad. In this pious man’s time the number of his disciples increased largely and they occupied themselves in cultivating land. The canal of Ládkánah was dug by them. He secured land on both the banks of the canal from the tribes of Sángí and Abrah and divided it among his children and brothers, and himself selected his residence in the village of Habíbání. This rise of Mián Sháhal Muhammad excited jealousy in the hearts of some of the Abrah chiefs killed under the orders of the governor of Bakhar. He was buried at the village of Marandhah in the out-skirts of Chándúkah in the parganah of Khárí.
