Description
Dabgir Mosque in Thatta is thought to be the oldest monument of Thatta. This mosque is also known as the Mosque of Amir Khusrao Khan Charkas, a descendent of Changez Khan who was made governor of Thatta in 1590, when the Mughals annexed Sindh. Khusrao Khan Charkas is credited with building over 360 public monuments in Thatta alone, including mosques, tombs, bridges, inns, wells, and masdrassahs (schools).This elegant made mosque is now totally ruined and this all because of neglected management of Archeology (Asar-e-Qadima) and the Pakistan Government, if the management committee of old monuments do nothing about this, then in few years it will be finish.
