		With this began the downfall and conquest of the Talpur Confederacy (1843) as it led to the gradual increase of British preponderance.
		The survival of Khairpur as a state was purely the result of Mir Ali Murad's tact in handling and understanding the hypocritical policies of the East India Company.
