Shikarpur (Sindhi: شڪارپور and Urdu: شکارپور) is city and the capital of Shikarpur District in Sindh province of Pakistan. It is situated about 29 km west of the right bank of the Indus, with a railway station, 37 km north-west of Sukkur. It is the 42nd largest city of Pakistan by population according to the 2017 census.
According to a few historians the city of Shikarpur was revived during the Kalhora rule and that was what brought about a turnaround in making it the financial capital of not only South Asia but also of Central Asia. Some people who?think that the city was founded by Kalhoras' cousins Daudpotas --- and it was named Shikarpur because the Talpur Mirs were fond of shikar (hunting). Another school of thought who? believes Shikarpur was admittedly there before the shikar-loving Talpurs arrived on the scene; for another, Shikarpur has always been a trading and banking center, and never a hunting lodge. Some experts who? think that Shikarpur is really Shakaripur --- the "town founded by the vanquisher of the Shakas", the Scythian.
Shikarpur, the seat of civilisation, culture, trade and commerce acquired political and economic importance because of its strategic location on the map of Sindh, being directly accessible to those who came from Central and West Asia through the Bolan Pass. In the early 17th century this emerald city in the northern Sindh province of Pakistan became the nucleus of a historical trade center on a caravan route through the Bolan Pass into Afghanistan. Shikarpur became the core of manufactures including brass and metal goods, carpets, cotton cloth, and embroidery. Its great bazaar (covered because of the summer heat) is famous throughout Turkistan and southern Asia.
The predominantly Muslim population of Sindh supported Muslim League and Pakistan Movement. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, the minority Hindus migrated to India while the Muslims refugees from India settled down in the Shikarpur District. However, like many urban areas in Sindh, the city of Shikarpur was predominantly populated by Hindus prior to the partition of India

Shikarpuri achar (Sindhi: شڪارپوري آچار) is a variety of South Asian pickles in Shikarpur, Sindh. This achar is famous throughout Pakistan and it is exported to UAE, Saudi Arabia, UK and other countries. The most famous the variety is the mixed achar containing turnip, carrots, garlic, chickpeas, mango, lime, green chilies and cauliflowers. Homemade achars of Shikarpur are also popular among the varieties.
Shikarpur city houses around 12 pickle manufacturing factories, which have networks of shops. Other small home-based manufacturers operate in the city.
