For centuries, Shah Inayat remains a household name in Sindh and his anti-feudal ultra-revolutionary slogan "Jo kherey so khaaye" (he who tills has the foremost right to eat) has inspired several peasant movements in the province.
Shah Inayat, a son of Jhok Sharif also called Miran Pur, was executed by Mughal regime in early 18th century on charges of leading a small band of peasants against the domination of Mughal rule, local feudal lords and orthodox mullahs.
Sufi Inayat's movement gained ready support among the downtrodden peasant class and jolted the foundations of feudalism, forcing landowners to send appeals to Mughal emperor Farrukh Siyar who issued orders to the ruler of northern Sindh Mian Yar Muhammad Kalhoro to produce Sufi Inayat and his followers.
