According to a few historians the city of Shikarpur was revived during theKalhorarule and that was what brought about a turnaround in making it the financial capital of not only South Asia but also of Central Asia. Some people think that the city was founded by Kalhoras' cousins Daudpotas and it was named Shikarpur because theTalpur Mirswere fond ofshikar(hunting). Another school of thought believes Shikarpur was admittedly there before the shikar-loving Talpurs arrived on the scene; for another, Shikarpur has always been a trading centre, and never a hunting lodge. Some experts think that Shikarpur is really Shakaripur the "town founded by the vanquisher of the Shakas", the Scythian.
