Hoshu belonged to the African-descent Sheedi community of Sindh Pakistan. Before his death in the Battleground of Dubbo he called out the famous slogan:

“

مرويسون پر سنڌ، نه ڏيسون Marvesoon , Par Sindh na Desoo ("We will die but don't give Sindh [to others]")

”

The slogan was originally coined by Talpurs in the Battle of Miani.^{[citation needed]}

Hosu fought with such an unmatched heroism and courage that even his enemy Sir Charles Napier paid great tributes and buried him with full military honours.^[3]

Early life

Hoshu was born in 1801. Before joining the army, he worked at the residence of Talpur rulers.
