Timeline |
The Talpur dynasty (Sindhi: ٽالپردور) were rulers based in Sindh, a region of present-day Pakistan. Four branches of the dynasty were established following the defeat of the Kalhora dynasty at the Battle of Halani in 1783: one ruled lower Sindh from the city of Hyderabad, another ruled over upper Sindh from the city of Khairpur, a third ruled around the eastern city of Mirpur Khas, and a fourth was based in Tando Muhammad Khan.
For most of their rule, they were subordinate or subject to the Durrani Empire and were forced to pay tribute to them.[3][4]
