TheState of Khairpur (also transliterated asKhayrpur)[1] was aprincely state ofBritish India on theIndus River in northernSindh, modern Pakistan, with its capital city atKhairpur.
Khairpur was established by theTalpur dynasty of theBalochs in 1783. Conquered by the British in 1843 following theBattle of Miani, Mir Sher Muhammad Talpur eventually gave up attempts to regain control of the area after a decade and entered into treaty with the British, thereby maintaining some autonomy as a princely state. The last Mir of Khairpur opted to join the new state of Pakistan in 1947, and the dominion was thus made aprincely state of Pakistan, until it was fully amalgamated intoWest Pakistan in 1955.[2]
