General Hosh Muhammad Sheedi Qambrani or Hoshu Sheedi (Sindhi: هوش محمد شيدي قمبراڻي) was an Askari unit, and also supreme commander of Sindh's Talpur army led by Mir Sher Muhammad Khan Talpur.[1] Hoshu Sheedi fought against the British forces under Sir Charles James Napier at the Battle of Hyderabad, and was killed during battle in 24 March 1843.[2][3] Hosh Muhammad belonged to the Soomro community of Sindh, Pakistan. Before his death in the Battle of Hyderabad, he called out the famous slogan:
مرويسون پر سنڌ نه ڏيسون
Marvesoon par Sindh na desoon
(I will die but not give Sindh)
— Hoshu Sheedi, War Slogan against British
Hosh Muhammad was respected by the British commanding officer, Sir Charles James Napier, who buried him with full military honours.[4]

Mausoleum[edit]
The historical mausoleum of Hosho Sheedi Qambrani is in Dubee, a small village approximately 10 kilometers from Hyderabad. It was built to pay tribute to the war martyrs and was declared a heritage site. The building currently needs maintenance and restoration. It is a historical place of Sindh which is neglected by the government and community.
