La città è così chiamata a causa del suo fondatore Hindu, il mwjwMaharaja Amar Singh,cite-ref-hasan2005-2-0[2] che originariamente vi edificò il mwlaForte di Amarkot.cite-ref-hasan2005-2-1[2]

The name of the city was later changed after a local Ruler of Sindh Umer Soomro of the [[Umar Marvi]] story which also appears in ''[[Shah Jo Risalo]]'' and is one of the popular tragic romances from Sindh.<ref name="Hasan2005"/&#x3E; ==History== Umerkot province was ruled by [[Sodha|Sodha Rajput]] clan of [[Hindu]] [[Rajput]]s from medieval times until 1947 [[Partition of British India]]. The city held prominence during the [[Mughal Empire]] and the [[British Raj]]. Mughal Emperor [[Akbar]] was born in Amarkot 14 October 1542 when his father [[Humayun]] fled from the military defeat at the hands of [[Sher Shah Suri]].<ref&#x3E;[http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00litlinks/gulbadan/part10.html Part 10:..the birth of Akbar] ''[[Humayun]] nama'' by [[Gulbadan Begum]].</ref&#x3E; [[Rana Parshad Sodha|Rana Parshad]], the Sodha Rajput ruler of Umarkot, gave him refuge.<ref&#x3E;[http://www.columbia.edu/itc/mealac/pritchett/00litlinks/gulbadan/part10.html Part 10:..the birth of Akbar] ''[[Humayun&#x2D;nama]]'' by [[Gulbadan Begum]].</ref&#x3E; Later on, Akbar brought northwestern India, including modern day Pakistan under Mughal rule. Marvi of [[Umar Marvi]] love saga was kept here at Amarkot fort. Its ruler Rana Ratan Singh was hanged by the British at this fort for standing up for the rights of the [[Sindhis]]. Umerkot was annexed by [[Jodhpur State]] in the 18th century and its rulers were reduced to Vassals. Umerkot and its fort was later handed to the British in 1847 by the Maharaja of Jodhpur in return for reducing the tribute imposed on [[Jodhpur State]] by Rs.10,000.<ref&#x3E;{{Cita web|url=https://dsal.uchicago.edu/reference/gazetteer/pager.html?objectid=DS405.1.I34_V14_192.gif|titolo=}}</ref&#x3E; Due to this the Rana of Umerkot did not have much say in whether to join India or Pakistan, although he expressed his desire to join Pakistan because of his Sindhi roots. Umerkot was the only state with a Hindu majority and a Hindu King, that acceded to Pakistan. [[Rana Chandra Singh]], a federal minister and the chieftain of the [[Hindu]] [[Sodha]] [[Thakur (title)|Thakur]] [[Rajput]] clan and the [[Amarkot Jagir|Umerkot Jagir]], was one of the founder members of [[Pakistan Peoples Party]] (PPP) and was elected to the [[National Assembly of Pakistan]] from Umarkot, seven times with PPP between 1977 and 1999, when he founded the Pakistan Hindu Party (PHP).<ref&#x3E;{{Cita web|titolo=Hindu Leader, Ex&#x2D;minister Chardar Singh is Dead|url=http://www.khaleejtimes.com/displayarticle.asp?xfile=data/international/2009/August/international_August122.xml&#x26;section=international&#x26;col=|data=3 August 2009|opera=[[Khaleej Times]]|accesso=3 August 2009|urlmorto=si |urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20110608211713/http://www.khaleejtimes.com/displayarticle.asp?xfile=data%2Finternational%2F2009%2FAugust%2Finternational_August122.xml&#x26;section=international&#x26;col=|archivedate=8 June 2011|df=dmy&#x2D;all}}</ref&#x3E;<ref name="Chieftain of Pakistani Hindu Thakurs dies"&#x3E;{{Cita news|url=http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2009\08\02\story_2&#x2D;8&#x2D;2009_pg12_6|titolo=Chieftain of Pakistani Hindu Thakurs dies |cognome=Guriro |nome=Amar|data=2 August 2009|opera=Daily Times|accesso=2 August 2009}}</ref&#x3E;<ref&#x3E;{{Cita web|titolo=Amarkot (Jagir)|url=http://chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/Amarkot.htm|editore=Chiefa Coins|accesso=3 August 2009|urlmorto=si |urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20100221013225/http://www.chiefacoins.com/Database/Countries/Amarkot.htm|archivedate=21 February 2010|df=dmy&#x2D;all}}</ref&#x3E; Currently, his politician son [[Rana Hamir Singh]] is the 26th [[Rana (title)|Rana]] of Tharparkar, Umarkot and Mithi.<ref name=hamir1&#x3E;[https://www.dawn.com/news/1157340 Footprints: Once upon a time in Umerkot], [[Dawn (quotidiano)|Dawn]], 16 January 2015.</ref&#x3E;<ref name=hamir2&#x3E;[http://www.thehindu.com/todays&#x2D;paper/tp&#x2D;national/tp&#x2D;otherstates/Pakistans&#x2D;Umerkot&#x2D;gets&#x2D;a&#x2D;new&#x2D;Hindu&#x2D;ruler/article16042843.ece Pakistan's Umerkot gets a new Hindu ruler], [[The Hindu]], 30 May 2010.</ref&#x3E; == Points of interest == The city is well connected with the other large cities like [[Karachi]], the provincial capital and [[Hyderabad, Pakistan|Hyderabad]].<ref&#x3E;{{Cita web |url=http://www.umerkot.gos.pk/ |titolo=Archived copy |accesso=16 febbraio 2014 |urlmorto=si |urlarchivio=https://web.archive.org/web/20120224191524/http://www.umerkot.gos.pk/ |archivedate=24 February 2012 |df=dmy&#x2D;all }}</ref&#x3E; Umarkot has many sites of historical significance such as Akbar's birthplace, [[Umarkot]], Umerkot Fort and Momal Ji Mari.
