  • Ca' Foscari and Pakistan Thirty Years of Archaeological Surveys And
    150 Years of Oriental Studies at Ca’ Foscari edited by Laura De Giorgi and Federico Greselin Ca’ Foscari and Pakistan Thirty Years of Archaeological Surveys and Excavations in Sindh and Las Bela (Balochistan) Paolo Biagi (Università Ca’ Foscari Venezia, Italia) Abstract This paper regards the research carried out by the Italian Archaeological Mission in Sindh and Las Bela province of Balochistan (Pakistan). Until the mid ’80s the prehistory of the two regions was known mainly from the impressive urban remains of the Bronze Age Indus Civilisation and the Pal- aeolithic assemblages discovered at the top of the limestone terraces that estend south of Rohri in Up- per Sindh. Very little was known of other periods, their radiocarbon chronology, and the Arabian Sea coastal zone. Our knowledge radically changed thanks to the discoveries made during the last three decades by the Italian Archaeological Mission. Thanks to the results achieved in these years, the key role played by the north-western regions of the Indian Subcontinent in prehistory greatly improved. Summary 1 Introduction. – 2 Archaeological Results. – 3 Discussion. – 3.1 The Chert Outcrops. – 3.2 The Late (Upper) Palaeolithic and Mesolithic sites. – 3.3 The Shell Middens of Las Bela Coast. – 3.4 The Indus Delta Country. – 4 Conclusion. Keywords Sindh. Las Bela. Indus delta. Prehistoric sites. Radiocarbon chronology. 1 Introduction Due to its location midway between the Iranian uplands, in the west, and the Thar or Great Indian Desert, in the east, the Indus Valley and Sindh have always played a unique role in the prehistory of south Asia, and the Indian Subcontinent in particular.

TÍTULO: Un análisis empírico de la cerámica esmaltada del sitio de Mansurah. AUTORES: 1. Assist. Prof. Muhammad Hanif Laghari. 2. Dr. Mastoor Fatima Bukhari. RESUMEN: Mansurah fue la primera ciudad árabe establecida en el subcontinente indio entre 712–1025 dC por el gobernador omeya Amr Thaqafi Construido en el Shahdadpur del distrito de Sanghar, Sindh. Durante este período, los gobernantes árabes extendieron el comercio nacional e internacional desde Sindh. La espectroscopia fue utilizada para examinar el material de cultivo excavado y para encontrar el origen de la cerámica esmaltada. Las evidencias empíricas extraídas del material cultural resaltan la composición de la pasta de color utilizada en estos vasos rotos y se preparan utilizando la arena de dos tipos diferentes de rocas como la volcánica y la metamórfica. Este estudio resalta las relaciones árabe-sindh y otros aspectos culturales de esta fase específica de la historia de Sindh, Pakistán.

  • Fathnama-E-Sindh Alias Chachnama: an Exploration of the Earliest Account of Muslim Conquest of Sindh
    Fathnama-e-Sindh alias Chachnama: An Exploration of the Earliest Account of Muslim Conquest of Sindh Humera Naz ∗ Abstract This article attempts to highlight the significance and authenticity of the Kitab Futuh us-Sindh wal-Hind or Fathnama-i-Sindh which is known by various names most popularly as the Chachnama. This book is regarded as the earliest source of the early Muslim (Arab) raids and subsequent conquest of Sindh. It is perhaps the earliest surviving historical text in India. Originally written in Arabic, it is found only in Persian. The historical references of Sindh, (famous as Indus Valley Civilization) are meagre from the ancient times. There is hardly any work on the history of Sindh until the beginning of the thirteenth century. By the time, people received historical records through the classical Sanskrit literature, travellers’ accounts, folk-lore, romantic poems, epics and ballads of local Bhats and Charans. However, the Persian and Central Asian immigrant intelligentsia played a dynamic role in development of literary and scholarly activities in medieval Sindh including history writing, which was mostly in Persian. The paper focuses the introduction, evaluation and analysis of the Chachnama as ∗ Assistant Professor, Department of General History, University of Karachi, Karachi, Pakistan. 48 Pakistan Journal of History and Culture, Vol. XXXVI, No.1 (2015) an authentic and valuable historical source with reference to the overview of some emerging trends and traditions in the field of history writing. Introduction The Muslim rule in Sindh played a dynamic role in the development of literary and scholarly pursuits including history writing. The earliest record of the history of Arab conquest of Sindh was written outside India in the ninth century CE, when an anonymous writer compiled Minhaj al- Din Wa’l Mulk in Arabic, most probably between the years 830 to 868 CE.

On the map this land mass occupies the position between 23 degrees and 29 degrees latitude and in the eastern hemisphere it lies between 67 and 70 degrees longitudes. Thus in width is spread across 120 miles and length is 700 miles. Birth of Sindh Geologists have divided the age of the earth into Eras and eras in turn have been further divided into Epochs. Three eras in time line are described as (1) Cenozoic, which stretches to 65.5 million years. (2) Mesozoic Era which stretches from beyond 65.5 million years to 22 crore 55 lakh years and (3) Paleozoic era which is between 57 crore 5 lakh years. All this is in the realm of cosmic timeline.
