Talpur, Balochi tribe that furnished a number of Muslim emirs in the Sindh, when the region was nominally a part of the Durrānī kingdom of Afghanistan. One of their leaders, Mīr Fatḥ ʿĀlī Khan, set himself up as the rais, or viceroy, of Sindh in 1783. He settled amicably with two Afghan expeditions for recovery of arrears of tribute, and by his death in 1802 Talpur rule was firmly established in Sindh. The Talpur, native to Balochistān (now a province of Pakistan), claimed no saintly descent and were not as popular as their predecessors, the Kalhora, but they did succeed in imposing peace in the area for 40 years and establishing a reasonably efficient administration.

The Talpur consolidated and extended the Sindh government at Hyderabad. and recovered Karachi. The British saw the Sindh as the gateway to Afghanistan and, after years of increasing pressures, annexed the territory in 1843.
