History

[edit]

According to Arsalah Khan Bajkani aka Ardo Utradi, a notable Sindhi writer and historian the name Tangwani came into being with a mistake by British surveyors in the back 1900s. The land where the present Tangwani is located belonged to Mr. Thangaee Khan Bakhrani. British came here for the land survey and they wrote the survey name Tangwani instead of Thangaee Bakhrani in their Land record.[2]
