History
According to historian Aziz Jafrani, the town of Sujawal was originally known as Maanjar because of its wetlands.[1] The late 16th-century Ain-i-Akbari lists Maanjar as one of the 18 mahals of the Sarkar of Thatta, with a yearly revenue of 1,221,752 dams.[2] The name "Sujawal" dates from the time of the Talpur dynasty, in the late 1700s: a fisherman named Sujawal Khaskheli, who came from the village of Maanjar, correctly predicted the birth of a son to Mir Fateh Ali Khan Talpur, the ruler of Sindh. Mir Fateh Talpur rewarded him with gifts of land and precious jewels, as well as renaming the village of Maanjar to Sujawal in his honor.[1]
