Title: Arabs in medieval Sindh
First published: 2008
Description: The book covers 315 years of Arab rule in Sindh, Southern Punjab and Baluchistan. Politically and culturally this was the most significant period in the history of this region since the days of the Indus Civilization. In this period Sindh became a part of the Umayyad and Abbasid Empires and later came under the Habbarid Dynasty. Metaphorically, Greater Sindh was drawn out of its physical confines to become a part of a nation with no physical boundaries.
