No reference given regarding the title Lion of Sindh. He didn't die in battle of Miani. He lost one of the shortest battles in history and remained alive. There's no evidence of his courage or bravery that would earn him the title Lion of Sindh. |

Mir Sher Muhammad Talpur was the last Mir of Mirpur Khas who belonged to the Manikani house of the Talpur dynasty. The son of Mir Ali Murad Talpur, the founder of Mirpur Khas, he ascended the throne in 1829 and held onto it until he was defeated in the Battle of Hyderabad in 1843.
After becoming ruler of the Talpur dynasty, his reign saw a conflict with the British East India Company, who launched an invasion of the province of Sindh under the auspices of General Charles James Napier, aiming to annex the entire region. On 24 March 1843, troops under his command fought against a Company force in the Battle of Hyderabad; the British emerged victorious, and captured the city of Hyderabad soon after. Talpur then retreated into the countryside, where forces loyal to him and equipped largely with muskets waged a guerrilla campaign against the British, whose efforts to counter this led Napier to coin the word "counterinsurgency". He eventually died on 24 August 1874.[citation needed]
