What happened to Sindh after Muhammad bin Qasim was recalled? The Arab conquest of the early 8th century had changed the region’s political landscape, but the history of Sindh continued to unfold over the centuries that followed.
In Episode 5 of Qadeemi Duniya’s History of Sindh series, we explore nearly three centuries of political change, from the changing Arab administrations to the emergence of Mansurah as an important political and commercial center.
The documentary examines the different political trajectories of Mansurah and Multan, the gradual spread of Islam, and the continued presence of older religious and social traditions.
We also explore the rise of the Habbarid dynasty, the expansion of Ghaznavid power into the region, and the political transitions that preceded the emergence of the Soomras in later historical accounts.
Who were the Soomras, and how did new local powers emerge after centuries of Arab rule?
Drawing on historical chronicles, inscriptions, archaeological evidence, and modern research, this documentary examines the available evidence while acknowledging the gaps and disagreements that remain in the historical record.
