History
Mian Adam Shah Kalhoro started his career from this small village with the support of the Abro tribe who remained a powerful force behind him. Sardar Khabar Abro, was the first person to enrol as his follower. This small village became the centre for learning for the Mehdvis.
After Chínah’s death, none of his descendants rose to be of importance, except Ádam Shah, who was ninth in descent from him, being the son of Kajan, son of Sahab son of Khán, son of Táhar son of Ránah son of Sháh Muhammad (alias Sháham) son of Ibráhím son of Muhammad son of Jám Chínah, and who rose to occupy the holy seat vacated by the celebrated saint of the time, Mírán Muhammad of Júnpur. After travelling over a great part of the country he settled at the village of Hatrí in the tálukah of Chándúkah.* Here he was joined by Wadera Kabar abro with his dependents, who came from the village of Dabah and became his disciples.
At that time Nawáb Khán Khánán having come to pay respects to Mián Ádam Sháh and to ask his blessings, at the request of Wadera Kabar abro, granted to him the zamindarí of Chándúkah,. After some time Ádam Sháh went over to Multán, to pay a visit to Lál l’san the celebrated living saint of the time, and a descendent of Shekh Baháuddín Multání.* A large number of disciples joined him here and he was obliged to occupy a spacious tract of country. This excited the jealousy of the landowners of the place, at whose instigation the ruler of Multán had him killed and thus he became a martyr. Dr. Mustafa Husain Kalhoro Taagrraai, a historian from Ripri taluka Gambat, District Khairpur Sindh and chairman Ripri Adabi Academy Sindh belongs to the family of Mian Adam Shah Kalhoro. Dr. Mustafa Kalhoro Taagrraai reveals that Mian Adam Shah Kalhoro was the pioneer of "Mianwal Movement" that ultimately Kalhora family became the ruler of Sindh. Kalhoro rulers were not only rulers of Sindh but they were also sunni regious leaders of peoples living in Sindh.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is nothing truer than myth: history, in its attempt to “realize” myth, distorts it, stops halfway; when history claims to have “succeeded” this is nothing but humbug and mystification. Everything we dream is “realizable.” Reality does not have to be: it is simply what it is.”
—Eugène Ionesco (b. 1912)
“I think that Richard Nixon will go down in history as a true folk hero, who struck a vital blow to the whole diseased concept of the revered image and gave the American virtue of irreverence and skepticism back to the people.”
—William Burroughs (b. 1914)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
