Found this: http://www.talpur.com/. Also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talpur

Obviously the author has a point of view not all will agree with, but it is interesting to see the family is still very active today.

Briefly, Dr James Burnes was sent as a doctor to Mir Murad Ali Khan in Scinde in 1827. Mir Murad Ali Khan later became governor of Khaipur and, in essence, was part of a plot, in collaboration with the E.I.C., to replace his cousin as top dog in Scinde. It was the refusal of his brothers and cousins to go along with this that led to the annexation of Scinde by Napier in 1843.

Go to the gallery section of the family website and you can see a photo of a Mir Ali Murad Khan Talpur when an old man. Could this be the same man?

Regards
Richard
