History of Tharparkar


 What do you know about Tharparkar

Tharparkar is the only fertile desert in the world. In 1843 when Sir Charles Napier became victor of Sindh and this part was merged into Katchh political agency in Hyderabad collect-orate, later on in 1858 the entire area became part of Hyderabad.

The area is mostly deserted and consists of barren tracts of sand dunes covered with thorny bushes. The ridges are irregular and roughly parallel, they rise to a height of about 46 metres and often create valleys.

When there is rain these valleys are moist enough to allow cultivation and when not cultivated, grass grows. The extraordinary salinity of the subsoil land and consequent shortage of potable water renders many quite picturesque salt lakes which rarely dry up
