Introduction: 

Naushahro Feroze is a very important historical city of Sahati Region of Central Sindh. In 15-11-1989 it was given the status of District headquarter. Before this it was a sub-district of Naushahro. Which was setup during the British Raj in 1912. When the British Government established District Nawabshah, it was based on the areas of Naushahro Feroze, Kandiaro, Moro, and Sakrand. Naushahro Feroze District is present in the center of Sindh province. In its east there is Khairpur District, in west is Dadu District, in its north-west is Larkana District, in its north is again Khairpur District and in its south-east is Nawabshah District. Taluka Mehrabpur originally part of kandiaro and Bhiria, this came into being recently in July 2005. The name “Naushahro Feroze” was given to this city. There are many references for this. According to Mir Ali Sher Qaniu who is the author of an old history book “Tuhfat-tul-Kiram” Fakir Feroze laid the foundation of a new city “Naushahro Feroze” by uniting the nine villages of locality. Thus it was “a city of nine cities”.

Mian Naseer Muhammad Kalhoro is first ruler of Kalhora dynasty. During his rule Feroze Faqir occupied Sahati area and built a town most probably in 1681.This town was then called as Naushahro Feroze. The last Kalhora ruler was Mian Abdul Nabi Khan Kalhora, who fought a battle with the Talpurs of Baluchi tribe at Halani in 1783.Mian Abdul Nabi Khan Kalhora was defeated in this battle, thus Sindh went into the hands of Talpurs. The Talpurs divided the country of Sindh among three branches of their family – Upper Sindh (Khairpur), lower Sindh (Hyderabad) and Mirpurkhas, whose rulers formed a confederacy. Each of these bore the title of Amir (also called Mir).Mirs ruled over Sindh till 1843 when Sindh went into the hands of British invaders.

Naushahro Feroze has a very rich historical background for the reason also because Ahmed Shah Abadi and Nadir Shah of Iran also had a brief stopover here.Not only this, but Emperor Hamayun of Mughal Dynasty also took a rest for three days at Darbello town of district Naushahro Feroze. Darbello is famous because in old days it remained the headquarter of Sahati region for some time. There is also an old fort to memorize the reign of Jam sahito. Besides this, there are some other ancient forts also in District Naushahro Feroze like “Murad Kot” and “Surni Kot”.

The Kandiaro city is also very historic one. Many important personalities of “Khilaft Movement” in Sub-continent came here. Before the creation of Pakistan Sardar Abdul Rub Nishtar, Mohammad Yousf Haroon and Jawaharalal Nehru (ex-Prime Minister of India) came here. After the creation of Pakistan Sheikh Mujeeb-ur-Rehaman of East Pakistan also came here.

During the Khilafat Movement of 1919, which was to show unity with the Turk Caliph (Otoman Empire), people of Naushahro Feroze region actively took part in this movement .They showed to the British rulers that although they are far away from Turkey but their hearts beat with the Muslim Caliph.We can name here a few locals like Anwar Ali Shah of Bhiria Road, sheikh Abdul Aziz of Tharushah, Haji Gul Mohammad Keerio of Moro, Ali Sher of Bhorti, Pir Turab Ali shah of Mithiani and Qazi Khuda Bux of Naushahro Feroze, who were very active in this movement.
