Shah Inayat Shaheed - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sufi Inayat was accused of leading small army of peasants (Harees) of his area to challenge the domination of Mughal Emperor Farrukhsiyar, local feudal landlords and Mullahs. His mantra was “Jo Kherray so Khaey” (Sindhi: جو کيڙي سو کائي ), means the one who ploughs has the foremost right on the yield. The popularity of Sufi Shah Inayat forced the feudal landlords of the area to contact Mughal King Farrukhsiyar who on wrong information ordered the ruler of northern Sindh Mian Yar Muhammad Kalhoro to uproot the Sufi Inayat and his companions. A prolonged siege of Jhok resulted in the offer of negotiations from Kalhora commander and Sufi Inayat accepted the offer to avoid further bloodshed. As he arrived for the negotiations in the enemy camp he was arrested and later executed in Thatto.

^ Sindh has a good history as they have seen periods of independence between Muhammad bin Qasim's invasion and the Moghuls.

Re: Heroes from your own Land

To some extent. Ghaznavi passed the valley, but not invaded it. Then Mongols traced Khwazam Shah leading destruction of many cities of valley by both the parties including old city of Bhanbhor.

Arabs ruled the area for 2-3 centuries, but they were not as infamous as later Arghoon, Tarkhan and Mughals proved. At least, they didn't impose policies like getting 3/4th of crops from farmers and forcefully imposing their language on masses.

Arghoon / Tarkhan were cousins of Mughals and got refuge in Sindh when Babar attacked Qandhar / Kabul. They later tempted to rule their guests and introduced cruel policies of looting even farmers. Many madarsas, scholars and students were killed when they refused to teach Persian there. This lead to gorilla war in Sindh, but that caused disturbance in area especially the economy.

Some of people from Sindh were of the view that if Mughals act against Tarkhans and Sindh became a province of Delhi, they would be in better position, as they had some hopes from Sindh- born Akbar. But Mughals even proved to worse than Tarkhans. They not only continued with the confiscation of 3/4th of crops like Tarkhans, but they went to kill people who learned and taught Sindhi instead of Persian. This even continued till Mughal sultanate became weak after Aurangzeb, leading to movements like one from Jhok Sharif.

Re: Heroes from your own Land

^ Didnt know that Akbar was born in Sindh. How do you compare the local rulers like Sammas, Kalhoras and Talpurs to the foreigners?

26

Re: Heroes from your own Land

Akbar was born in Umar-Kot, while his father was in exile and searching for refuge from Suri. That was the reason, people had expectations from him against Tarkhans. But while Tarkhans were cruel to the core, they developed soft corner for the land and unlike Babar, who made a will to be buried in kabul, they chose to be buried in Sindh (mostly in Makli, Thatta). Even during Mughal period, when Tarkhans were used at different fronts in other part of India by Mughals, these Turkhans made wills to be buried in Sindh. It is said that Mirza Baqi (Turkhan ruler) sent her daughter to Akbar for turning the game against Sindhis and therefore Akbar extended their rule in Sindh under supervision of Mughal officials.

Rulers always get bad and good reviews, but Sammas, being locals, were not detested like other foreign rulers. There are mixed reviews about KalhoRas as they were working under Mughal kings and were oppressive against locals like the movement of Jhok Sharif reflects. KalhoRa’s were religious leaders as well, though they were not Syeds, but they did exploited the weak faiths of the masses. Todate, there are some rulers from KalhoRa dynasty, whose tombs met the treatment of pirs :hehe:

As far as Talpurs are concerned, they got very little time to rule before East India company got rule from them.

Re: Heroes from your own Land

^ According to Wikipedia Arghuns were Mongols, hence they'd be the cousins of Mughals. :p It seems as if the Arghuns somehow affiliated themselves with Sindh. As far as babar is concerned, he hated this part of the world which he has mentioned quite clearly in Babar nama.

According to the research, Changez khan may have 16 million male direct descendants. :smack:

Genghis Khan a Prolific Lover, DNA Data Implies

Genghis Khan, the fearsome Mongolian warrior of the 13th century, may have done more than rule the largest empire in the world; according to a recently published genetic study, he may have helped populate it too.

An international group of geneticists studying Y-chromosome data have found that nearly 8 percent of the men living in the region of the former Mongol empire carry y-chromosomes that are nearly identical. That translates to 0.5 percent of the male population in the world, or roughly 16 million descendants living today.
