[edit] History

After 1853's Invasion of Charles Napier, Sindh was divided into provinces and was assigned a Zamindar's to collect taxes for the British; Zamindar's were also known as 'Wadara'. Wadara of "Shikarpur" was Lord Wadra Bhagwandas Golani (1861–1931), a merchant born in the royal family of the Golani's . After his death in his eldest son Shobraj, Bhagwandas Golani (1885–1978) took over as the Landlord of Shikarpur, Digri,Goth Atta Muhammad Gabol, Jamrao, Kachhelo, Tando Jan Mohammed, Ratnabad, Roshanabad, and Khayrpur. Shobraj Bhagwandas Golani was also invited to Great Britain by the King along with all the Nawabs and Rajahs of India in 1901 to discuss the participation of their respective provinces in Expansion of British Empire in Middle East. Shobraj along with his eldest son, Shri Hashmatrai S Golani (1918–1979), moved to Bombay in 1948 after the Partition of India and Pakistan. Sindh was later made part of British India's Bombay Presidency, and became a separate province in 1935.
