Kalhora Dynasty
Kalhora Dynasty or Kalhoro Dynasty (Urdu: سلسله کلہوڑا);(Sindhi: ڪلهوڙن جو دور) ruled Sindh and other parts of present day Pakistan. This dynasty was founded by Kalhora tribe that ruled Sindh from 1701 to 1783. They were assigned to hold authority by the Mughal Grand Vizier Mirza Ghazi Beg and later formed their own dynasty, but they were known as the Kalhora Nawabs by the Mughal Emperors. The Kalhora Dynasty succumbed to the Qizilbash during the invasion of Nadir Shah. Mian Ghulam Shah Kalhoro reorganized the tribe, but his son lost control of Sindh and was overthrown by the Afsharid tribes from the north. Mian Abdul Nabi Kalhoro was the last Kalhoro Amir.The Kalhoro period is most important for the development of Sindhi literature.
