After the rule of Persian and Greek governments ended, the rule of Hindu rulers started. Maharaja Ashok, who
conquered greater part of India, was a Buddhist and after him Brahmans started their dominance. During the rule of
Raja Vikramajeet efforts were made to spread Hindu religion in Sindh. Both dynasties left their influence. Buddhist
Stupas and Hindu Temples are the remnants of their period. Rai Sahasi and Chach dynasties were the last of the Hindu
rulers. The last ruler of Sindh was Raja Dahir, who ruled over the following areas:
a) Multan division area 24824 Sq. Miles.
THE ARAB IMPERIALIST PERIOD.
The Arabs conquered Sindh and had control over the same areas ruled by Raja Dahir excepting the areas of Kutch and
Junagarh. So during the Arab period the following areas came under their control:
a) Multan Division area 24824 Sq. Miles.
b) Bahawalpur Division area 17652 Sq. Miles.
c) The present Sindh area 57000 Sq. Miles.
d) The Baluchistan area 134050 Sq. Miles.
The total area comes to 233476 Sq. Miles.
In Arab period the boundaries sometimes were greater and sometimes lesser. Internal management remained in the
hands of tribal chiefs. But for the collection of taxes from time to time, the Governors were appointed from Damascus or
Baghdad. The general policy remained in their hands who in the various centers of Sindh, kept Arab cantonments at
Multan, Alore, Barhmanabad etc., the governors used to stay in the cantonments. During the days of Soomra and
Samma dynasties the areas of Sindh cannot be clearly fixed. These were the best periods of Sindh. But unfortunately the
history of Sindh has not been given fair treatment.
