Matiari Taluka is an administrative subdivision, (taluka), of Matiari District in the Sindh province of Pakistan.[1]
Entymology
It is said that before settling here, Sayed Meer Ali Shah first settled in the village of Mutaalo near the Shahdadpur, district of Sanghar. He then relocated to a place called Matiari, so these Sayeds were called the people of "Mutaalo", which changed to "Mutaalvi", and then "Matiari".
Brief history
Sindh is known as the valley of saints, which in ancient times reached as far as Multan (now in Punjab Province). Islam first spread through the preachers (sahabas and saints) who educated the people of this valley through their teachings. For the last several hundred years the region of Sindh from Nawabshah to Thatta has been known as the area of Sahteya (literature and education) with Matiari at its centre.
