history
The city of Sindh is one of the oldest cities in the world. Mohenjo-Daro was one of the most advanced cities at the time and one of the main cities of the Indus Valley civilization (the Indus Valley civilization is one of the great ancient civilizations , Is also one of the earliest Bronze Age civilizations). In the 6th century BC, Sindh was conquered by Achaemenid the Great of the Persian Empire (also known as the First Persian Empire). In the late 300 BC, when the Achaemenid empire entered the fall, Sindh was conquered by the army of the Kingdom of Macedonia led by the Asian lord Alexander the Great. Sindh was under the rule of the Kingdom of Macedonia until the death of Alexander, and then Sindh was ruled by the Maurya Dynasty.
At the beginning of the Islamic era, the Islamic army led by General Mohammed bin Qasim entered Sindh in 711 AD, defeated Raja Dahir, the ruler of the Rai Dynasty, and conquered Sindh and neighboring areas along the Sindh River , Became the second Islamic Caliph Umayyad dynasty. The Umayyad dynasty was the second of the four major Islamic caliphs established after Muhammad's death, and in its heyday was the largest empire in the world at that time. Sindh became the easternmost province of the Umayyad Caliphate, and Mansoura, 70 kilometers northeast of Hyderabad, was established and became the capital of the region. The conquest caused a direct collision between South Asian civilization and Arab Islamic civilization. As a result, millions of people in Sindh began to convert to Islam. Later, the Umayyad dynasty was inherited by the Abbasid dynasty, the third successor of the Islamic Caliphate, and Sind was still an integral part of the Abbasid dynasty. He also continued to rule Sind until the siege of Baghdad in 1258. The Mongol Empire occupied Baghdad, the capital of the Abbasid dynasty, and ended its rule. The siege of Baghdad marked the end of the Islamic Golden Age, during which much of the Muslim world was thriving in science, economy, and culture. In 1339 AD, Jam Unar established the Sama dynasty and replaced Arab rule. From the 14th to the 16th century AD, the Sama Dynasty ruled Sindh and parts of Punjab and Balochistan, and further developed the city of Tata and the area adjacent to Makli Hill. Both have achieved unprecedented development, and local Sindh art, architecture, music and culture have been inherited and promoted.
In the 16th century, Akbar the Great conquered Sindh and incorporated it into the Mughal Empire. Akbar was born in Ummecote in 1542 AD, where his parents were sheltered by local Hindu rulers. During the Mughal rule, Sindhi literature flourished. At that time, Akbar's grandson Shah Jahan and later the fifth Mughal emperor visited Tata, and the Shah Jahan Mosque in Tata was also built immediately. The Mughal rule lasted until 1747, when the Durranian Empire invaded Sindh. Tarpur established a government in Sindh in 1783 and served as the upper echelon until the British, led by Sir Charles Napier, the governor of Sindh, defeated them, ended their rule and began the colonial era of the entire subcontinent. The British first came as traders in the subcontinent, but they were so powerful that almost the entire subcontinent fell into their hands. During the British rule, the Sindh province laid a railway line, and the infrastructure of Sindh province was improved, especially in Karachi which underwent major development.
