Talpur Amirs came in power from 1782 A.C. till 1843 A.C. They were defeated by Britishers who annexed Sindh to Bombay Presidency. During Talpurs period many forts and outposts were built along the frontier.
During British rule the introduction of railway lines, creation of Sukkur Barrage for improved irrigation system as well as eradication of Hurs the armed bandits brought about safe living conditions. Education at college level also became possible with Sindh being attached to Bombay University in the Bombay Presidency.
India's independence from British rule in 1947 resulted in unfortunate partition of the country with Sindh falling into Pakistan the Islamic State. Sindhi Hindus were forced to abandon their ancestral home land along with all their valuable possessions. It was the tragic saga of sufferings with dreadful physical, moral, mental and economic predicament of a very large peace loving Sindhi Community. The saddest part of the story is that Sindh was the only state which was wholly given away in partition unlike Punjab and Bengal. Sindhi Hindus gave the greatest sacrifice in India's freedom. Little they knew that taking active part in the Quit India Movement during the freedom fight against the foreign rule they will turn out to be the refugees in their own country
