The Mianwal Movement (Sindhi: ميانوال تحريڪ Sindhi pronunciation: [miːʔŋʋaːl təhriːk]) was a 17th and 18th century socialist, political and religious movement led by the Mians of the Kalhora tribe against the representatives of the Mughal Empire in the Thatta Subah. The movement led to the succession of the Kalhora as the sixth independent dynasty to rule over Sindh.

Slogans

The most famous slogan of the Mianwal movement was Allah Tohar (which means God Given Honour).
