Synopsis

Appendix To The Arabs In Sind, Vol.III, Part 1, Of The Historians Of India by Henry Miers Elliot presents a scholarly collection of appendices accompanying Elliot’s Historians Of India. The volume surveys the early Islamic incursions into Sind and the eastern frontiers of the Muhammedan empires, drawing on primary Arabic and Persian sources such as the Chach-nama, Futuhu-L-buldan, and Tohfatu-L-kiram. It details the advances of the Arabs toward Sind, the progression of conquests, and the establishment and administration of Muslim rule in the region, from the Umayyad period through the Abbasid era, including the rise and fate of several dynasties (Ummayids, Abbasids, Samma, Arghin, and Tarkhan lineages). The work also covers the socio-economic and religious landscape of Sind under Arab rule—land-tenures, taxation, and local governance—plus ethnographic notes on Buddhs and Brahmans. Rich in narrative and source-critical apparatus, the book offers a rigorous historical synthesis of Muhammedan India with extensive appendix material that supplements the main histories.
