The town of Sanghar, the district headquarters, was formerly a small village that has been populated since the 18th century. It was named after a pious fisherwoman, Mai Sanghar. For more than a century, it remained a small village with a population of few hundreds.

After the 1853 invasion by Charles Napier, Sindh was divided into provinces and was assigned Zamindars, also known as "Wadera", to collect taxes for the British. Sindh was later made part of British India's Bombay Presidency, and became a separate province in 1935. During this period Sanghar obtained the status of Taluka, an administrative subdivision, and was alternatively included in districts of Nawabshah and Tharparkar. In 1954 it was given the status of District Headquarters.

The people of the District, specifically the Hurs, played a vital role in independence of Pakistan. The Hurs were an organised military rebel group led by Pir Syed Sabghatullah Shah Pagaro shaheed, popularly known as Pir Pagara, that sought independence from the British Raj (Colonist). They fought a gorilla warfare against the British military, and were always a thorn in the side of British Raj. It has been said that this warfare was one of the major nail in the coffin of British Raj in India.

According to the legend the bodies of Sohni Mahiwal, the titular heroes of one of the four popular tragic romances of Sindh, were recovered from the river Indus near Shahdadpur city and are buried there. The Tomb of Sohni is situated in Shahdadpur, which is 40 km from Sanghar and 75 km from Hyderabad.

Sanghar City:
Sanghar (Urdu: ??????) is a city in the Sindh province of Pakistan. The city is headquarters of Sanghar District and Sanghar Taluka (a subdivision of the district).[1] It is one of the agriculture town situated approximately 265 km from Karachi city. Unfortunately, there is no railway station and airport in the city but have road links with Hyderabad, Nawabshah, Mirpur Khas and other major cities of Sindh.

Sanghar has a unique place in history of Pakistan, as it was the Head Quarter of Militant freedom fighters called "HURS". Hur movemnet started during second world war when British raj was busy in fight against German Nazis and Japan at variopus fronts.

Sanghar is unique in its kind; it is probably the most variable in terms of ethnic community of all the cities of Sindh. People from every land and every community are found here and they enjoy the most cordial of the relationships. Even Hindus enjoy quite a good status here and they do their trade with a minimum of fuss, most of the doctors are from Hindu community.

Sanghar has become the synonym of problems over the years; which is very much understandable since the kind of political scenario it has; it is very much imminent. The current Nazim of Sanghar is the one who being the Member of National Assembly never bothered to utter a single word in the favour of Sanghar; though he enjoyed every single session of it. How ironic it is, despite such poor performance, the same is elected as Nazim with a minimum of difficulty. In the recent election of February 2008, Pir Pagara awarded the ticket to Jadim Mangrio who does not even belongs to Sanghar and is now enjoying the seat of a minister and recovering what he has invested leaving behind the people of Sanghar stranded who have voted for his success. In terms of politics Sanghar has to get further maturity, without which this rein of inept people cannot be stopped.

In terms of infrastructure Sanghar is next to ruin, people are deprived of the basic civic facilities. Today in Sanghar there is hardly any road which is worth to travel upon. M.A. Jinnah Road is nothing but stones scattered everywhere, due to which a constant danger looms upon every passerby; there is hardly anything plain upon it, this is not the story of M.A. Jinnah but every road of Sanghar. When it rains you can enjoy a natural water pool; there is no drainage system, no tops upon manholes; small incident are of a daily routine.

In municipality the majority of sweepers are on papers; they are all favorite people – fleecing salaries from the comfort of their homes. Dogs are everywhere; they sometime literally outnumber the humans. The condition of the only government Civil Hospital is worse; there won’t be any hospital shabbier than this. There is no management in it; doctors are seldom available and the medicines never. There is only one playing ground; one wonders whether this stadium is meant for heroine addicts or for the players. Sanghar is paradise for heroin mafia; they can be seen selling heroin, charas on the roadside. The street crime is so high. No body dares to buy a new motorbike; since it is snatched within no time. The condition of education institutes, whether it is college or school, there is hardly any room for it to get worse. It is a shame that copy culture is so common that candidates enjoy every support from outside; there is hardly any candidate without having three or more supporters at his disposal – they are supposed to bring the material to candidate once the paper gets out.

Apart from all the problems this city has seen over the years, Sanghar is fortunate enough to have produced people who have served this city and people beyond their capacities; Molana Sahar Gul (late) the most renowned scholar this city has ever produced, with his preaching many non-muslim embraced Islam; he died in 1987 leaving the whole city in the state of mourning. Lala Muhammad Anwar Khan, the most favorite son of Sanghar who is serving in Police. Being in such a notorious department he has elevated himself to the status everyone could dream of. By helping the poor people he has achieved a status of legend and his place both office and home is depleted with people having different problems. They come with a hope and when they leave they are not disappointed.
