Mir Ali Nawaz Khan Talpur

He succeeded to the Gaddi on the death of his father on 8 February 1921 at Faiz Mahal, Khairpur.^[3] As ruler, he attempted to introduce a new religious order called Deen Allah, aimed at promoting religious harmony.^[2] The initiative, however, did not succeed. He was known for his lavish lifestyle, hosting grand events and spending extravagantly.^[2]

His reign was marred by financial difficulties, partly due to his opulent expenditures.^[2] The economic strain resulted in periods when government employees went unpaid.^[2] In his later years, political pressures from the British and economic challenges further strained his rule.^[2] Despite these challenges, he maintained cultural contributions, hosting poets and fostering literary works.^[2]

Naz had a deep appreciation for music and dance, famously becoming enamored with a singer of Heera Mandi, Iqbal Begum, leading to a scandalous relationship.^[2]

Naz died on 25 December 1935 and was cremated at Kot Diji before his remains were moved to Karbala.^[5][6] His wife, Iqbal Begum, died in 1967 and was buried beside him in Karbala.^[2]
