History

In a recent study Dr.N.A.Baloch,an eminent historian, scholar and former Vice-Chancellor of Sindh University has proved that Mir Shahdad Khan Son Of Rasheed Khan founded Shahdadpur during the years 1125A.H.-1128A.H (1713-1715). In 1116A.H (1704) Mir Shahdad Khan is referred to as "Riffat Panah" meaning His Eminence. The document shows that Mir Shahdad Khan not only had barren lands cultivated but also provided security to the people by ridding the region of dacoits (thieves). He established new norms for the sharing of produce between the owners and tillers. Mir Shahdad Khan had old canals and waterways renovated and also extended them. He had new canals dug as well and that was how he established the new settlement of Shahdadpur.[3]
