fateh ali khan (talpur) defeated the kalhora (mian abdul nabi kalhora) in 1783 and took over as the new ruler of sindh. khudabad city continued to remain his capital till it was inundated by river indus in 1789, when mir fateh ali khan chose hyderabad (old nayrun kot) as his capital. the change of capital no doubt induced a large number of the population of khudabad to migrate to the new seat of royalty, and khudabad city's decline may be said to have commenced from that date.
