Mirpur

[Kinzz]

There are 4 Mirpurs in sindh, one is in Kashmir.
What is history behind this name?

Re: Mirpur

I think Mirpur Khas, Mirpur Mathelo and Mirpur Saakro (situated in Sindh) got their names from the Talpur rulers of Sindh, who carried title Mir. Their base was, however, Khairpur Meerus.

Hmmm. And there are 2 khairpurs too.

But if mirpurs in sindh got their names from talpurs then what about the one in Kashmir?

The city of Mirpur (Azad Kashmir) was founded in around 1642 AD or 1052 AH by the Ghakhar chief Miran Shah Ghazi. That might be the reason behind name.

Re: Mirpur

BTW Mirpur Mathelo is the city of Moomal (The heroine of Shah Latif)… The famous Kaak Mehal once situated there.

Re: Mirpur

I mean, it’s just that in between totally rural and small city life.

Waise, actually it’s not that bad. I had fun when I was there..but it’s just too “in-between” for my tastes

I remember my cousin took my brother around for “english battles” haha and he got so happy when his “fighter” would win
