message: The Chachnama is often used as a major ref in recording the events of Qasims invasion of Sindh . The account is written entirely from the perspective of Qasim ....why ? because 
* The author of the conquest of Sind in Arabic, from which Chachnámah was translated was Kàzí Ismáíl . 
*Kází Ismàíl  was appointed the first Kází of Alór by Muhammad Kásim after the conquest of the place. 
For those interested see the site []
and the book , chapter as detailed below .
HISTORY OF SIND.  VOLUME II. (IN TWO PARTS.) Part II—Giving the reigns of the Kalhórahs and the Tálpurs down to the British Conquest.
 
TRANSLATED FROM PERSIAN BOOKS BY  MIRZA KALICHBEG FREDUNBEG,
From Chapter CHAPTER IV.
SIND TRIBES DESCENDED FROM THE ARABS.
Sakifís—The Kàzís of Bakhar and Alór or Rohrí are descended from Músá son of Yaakúb son of Táí son of Muhammad son of Shaibán, son of Usman Sakifí. The author of the conquest of Sind in Arabic, from which Chachnámah was translated, Kàzí Ismáíl son of Alí son of Muhammad son of Músá, son of Táí, is one of the descendants of the same line. Músá son of Yaakúb was the grandson of this gentleman Kází Ismàíl and was appointed the first Kází of Alór by Muhammad Kásim after the conquest of the place.

message: Just because I can see there's been some contention about this page in the past, I just thought I'd explain that I'm about to make some edits integrating references to the Encyclopaedia of Islam. This is the main Anglophone scholarly reference work in the field so should be a good basis for improving this article: Y. Friedmann, “Čač-Nāma”, in Encyclopaedia of Islam, Second Edition, ed. by P. Bearman, Th. Bianquis, C.E. Bosworth, E. van Donzel, and W.P. Heinrichs (Leiden: Brill, 1960-2007). Consulted online on 04 December 2016 DOI:10.1163/1573-3912_islam_SIM_8436.

message: Would you please double check the Asif summary I added to this article, and revise/update it if and where appropriate. Thanks, Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 03:22, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, well, this is nothing less than demolishing the proverbial Holy Cow. Blankinship used it in conjunction with Al-Baladhuri etc. But he did find some naked contradictions in Chachnama, such as placing Al-Kiraj in Gujarat. -- Kautilya3 (talk) 14:21, 17 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  @Ms Sarch Welch, are you sure you want to say "legendary character" ? That would mean he is fictitious! -- Kautilya3 (talk) 20:13, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  Good point. I will fix it with "historical". Please revise if you can think of a better word. Ms Sarah Welch (talk) 00:49, 20 June 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Manan Ahmed Asif summary 

message: I see "according to Manan Ahmed Asif" several times. No other writer enjoys such prestige. I have read critical reviews of Asif's book and his thesis so I know his work is controversial. Is it possible to include some alternate or dissenting sources? Sooku (talk) 09:01, 7 June 2019 (UTC)
