Article History

Mīrpur Khās, town, southern Sindh province, Pakistan. It lies on the Let Wāh Canal and is connected by rail and road with Hyderābād (40 miles [65 km] west-southwest) and by road with Umarkot. Founded in 1806 by Mīr ʿAlī Murād Tālpur, it remained the capital of the Tālpur rulers until their defeat by British forces under Sir Charles James Napier in 1843. The town increased in importance after the Jāmrao Canal was opened in 1900 and is now a trade centre for grain, fabrics, and cotton products; it also has a fertilizer factory and a government donkey-breeding farm. It was constituted a municipality in 1901. The town houses three government colleges affiliated with the University of Sindh. Pop. (1998 prelim.) 184,465.
