<div>The '''Battle of Halani''' was fought in 1783 between the [[Baloch tribe]] [[Talpur]]s and the [[Sindhi people|Sindhi]] tribe [[Kalhora]] near [[Halani (Town)|Halani]] village for the control of the [[Sindh]] region, in modern-day [[Pakistan]]. The Talpurs, led by [[Mir Fateh Ali Khan Talpur]], won the battle over [[Mian Abdul Nabi Kalhoro]] of the [[Kalhora dynasty]], and established the [[Talpur dynasty]].<br />
<br />
The Kalhora dynasty of Nawabs were supported by the Durrani Emirate. While the Talpurs traced their roots back to [[Nader Shah]] had [[Qajar]] and possibly slight nominal support from the [[Great Mogul]].<br />
<br />
At the Battle of Halani both sides ferociously deployed the usage of [[gunpowder]] weaponry. The battle was described by a future chronicler with one word ''Atishfishan'' (meaning "blazing flame"), this battle was even fought between gunboats in the [[Indus river]].<br />
<br />
The [[Talpur dynasty]] ruled in Sindh until defeated by the [[Great Britain|British]] forces at the [[battle of Miani]] in 1843. 2 of 3 Talpur kingdoms were defeated but Khairpur survived by allying with the British<br />
