Abstract
During the latter half of the fifteenth and in the early sixteenth century, the scions of the great house of Timur were asserting a world fame empire of their ancestors, and the Sultans of
Delhi were endeavoring for the survival of their authority and
power. At the time, Sindh was under the control of the most
prominent Samma ruler, Jam Nizamuddin Nanda (1461-1508
CE). The frontiers of his territories, “reached from the ocean to
the Multan territory, above Bakhar, on the one side; and from the
Rajput desert and Kach, to the Bolan Pass and Baluchistan on the
other; comprehending, the Delta of the Indus and the country on
the both sides of the river to some distance from its banks, especially Sehwan with Shikarpur, Kach-Gandava, and part of
Siwistan.” During this period, Sindh grew to be a prosperous and
peaceful land. The rebellious Baloch tribes were successfully taken into control, the socio-cultural activities emerged progressively
and harmonization bent among different sections of the society
due to his hardheaded course of action. Sindh reached to its glory
in terms of development and prosperity, and yet his period may
surely be regarded as the twilight of the Samma rule in Sindh.
After his death, the local tribes disintegrated and split into a number of groups, each section was struggling for securing the throne
by any means of opportunity. The royal court had turned into a
place of plotting conspiracies and misrule spread far and wide.
