Muhammad Muradyab Khan (Nawab Sarbuland Khan)

Muradyab Khan Kalhoro, Muhammad Muradyab Khan Kalhoro (Nawab Sarbuland Khan) (urdu) (محمدمرياب خان كلهورو المعروف نواب سربلندخان), was the Subedar of Sindh appointed by Mughal Emperor Muhammad Shah, and was given the imperial title Sarbuland Khan.

On receiving the news of Mián Núr Muhammad’s death, the king, who had again been influenced by the slanders of some malicious people of his court, named Ismáíl Khán Piní to be his agent in Sind, and the latter had already proceeded as far as Muhammadábád, and had sent off a few men under Sayyed Sháh Muhammad to Tattá, and others towards the sandy desert, where they pillaged the villages of Thár and Hingórjah. Soon after the arrival of lsmáíl Khán’s men, one Sálih Khán came to Tattá on behalf of the late administrator Gul Muhammad Khán Khurásání to collect the revenue demands. But just before that the king’s ambassador Muhammad Beg Shámalí had come to Tattá and appointed Áká Muhammad Sálih as the agent in charge of Tattá and taking some nobles of the place had started for the royal camp. Sálih Khán’s men would not allow Áká Muhammad Sálih to carry on the State duties. When Muhammad Beg Shámlú, who on receiving orders to that effect had sent back the nobles, arrived at the camp, he was blamed for not making a good selection for the collection of revenue at Tattá. A fresh order was therefore issued appointing Kází Muhammad Mahfúz to the post. Again the nobles were required to pay respects to the king at his camp.

While the Kázi’s eldest son was quarrelling with Sálih Khán as to who should collect the revenue and other Government dues, information was received that the king had appointed Muhammad Murádyáb Khán to be the ruler of Sind with the title of “Nawáb Sarbuland Khán.” It would appear that all this time the late Mián’s envoy Díwán Gidúmal had been at work in the court of the king and had now succeeded in securing the king’s good will, as the chiefs and nobles had paid allegiance to the king and Muhammad Atur Khán had been given up as a hostage. So the nobles went direct to Umarkót to meet their new ruler, who on receiving the honour now marched to his capital. Shekh Zafarulláh was appointed to be the administrator of Tattá and once more there was peace and order at that place.

Díwán Gidúmal had joined Muhammad Murádyáb Khán in the vicinity of Umarkót and had given him the order of rulership and the robe of honour, which he had brought from the king. The plain near Nasarpúr was adorned with tents and flags to be the first camp of the new ruler on his return to his country. The Mián encamped at the place and spent several days there, founding a new town at the place, calling it Murádábád after his name.
