KHAIRPUR

This article appears in Volume V15, Page 770 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: KHA-KRI
KHAIRPUR town is situated on a canal 15 M. E. of the Indus, with a railway station, 20 M. S. of Sukkur, on the Kotri-Rohri branch of the North-Western railway, which here crosses a corner of the state. Pop. (1901), 14,014. There are manufactures of cloth, carpets, goldsmiths'
work
  and arms, and an export trade in indigo,
grain
  and oilseeds.
The
chief
 , or mir, of Khairpur belongs to a Baluch family, known as the Talpur, which rose on the fall of the Kalhora dynasty of Sind. About 1813, during the troubles in Kabul incidental to the
establishment
  of the Barakzai dynasty, the mirs were able to withhold the
tribute
  which up to that date had been somewhat irregularly paid to the rulers of Afghanistan. In 1832 the individuality of the Khairpur state was recognized by the British government in a treaty under which the use of the river Indus and the roads of Sind were secured. When the first Kabul expedition was decided on, the mir of Khairpur, Ali Murad, cordially supported the British policy; and the result was that, after the battles of Meeanee and Daba had put the whole of Sind at the disposal of the British, Khairpur was the only state allowed to retain its political existence under the
protection
  of the paramount power. The
chief
  mir, Faiz Mahommed
Khan
 , G.C.I.E., who was an enlightened ruler, died in 1909, shortly after returning from a
pilgrimage
  to the Shiite shrine of
Kerbela
 .
