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:
“The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggles.”
—Karl Marx (1818–1883)
“As History stands, it is a sort of Chinese Play, without end and without lesson.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“Every generation rewrites the past. In easy times history is more or less of an ornamental art, but in times of danger we are driven to the written record by a pressing need to find answers to the riddles of today.... In times of change and danger when there is a quicksand of fear under men’s reasoning, a sense of continuity with generations gone before can stretch like a lifeline across the scary present and get us past that idiot delusion of the exceptional Now that blocks good thinking.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
