what year iraq occupied sindh for what reason? is it an intervention
to oust dahir sha for his suppor of iran?
iraq invaded sindh back in the early eighth century....
campaign headed by General Mohamad bin Qasim under orders from GOvernor Hajjaj bin Yousif....
and that was because Raja Dahir of Debal refused to release women and children captured by his people.....
right?? or wrong??
That wasn't Iraq as country that invaded Sindh. Iraq used to be Capital of Islamic Kingdom.

khan saab, r u alright?
Iraq wasn't known as seperate country as it is now during that period. Back then it was the capital of the islamic empire and Muhammad bin Qasim was the first Muslim General who attacked India and opened the doors for other Muslim Generals, conqureres and invaders, until there was a permanent government created in Dehli by some Muslim King (dont remember his name)

Re: Re: iraq’s inavsion of pakistan
no according to pakistan’s historians
Pakistan from 3000 BC to the present:
-
Indus Valley Civilization: 3000-1500 B.C. i.e. about 1500 yrs. Independent, separate from India.
-
Aryan period: 1500-522 B.C. i.e. about 978 yrs. Independent, separate from India.
-
Small semi-independent states: 522-326 B.C. i.e. about 196 yrs. Under the suzerainty of Iran’s Kayani (Achaemenian) Empire.
-
Conquered by Alexander and remained under his successor: 326-300 B.C. i.e. about 26 yrs. Under Greek rulers, not part of India.
-
Province of Mauryan Empire which included Afghanistan: 300-200 B.C. i.e. about 100 yrs. Part of India, mostly Buddhist rule.
-
Graeco-Bactrian period: 200-100 B.C. i.e. about 100 yrs. Independent, not part of India.
-
Saka-Parthian period: 100 B.C.- 70 A.D. i.e. about 170 yrs. Independent, separate from India.
-
Kushan rule (1st phase): 70-250 A.D. i.e. about 180 yrs. Pakistan-based kingdom ruled over major portion of north India.
-
Kushan rule (2nd phase): 250-450 A.D. i.e. about 200 yrs. Independent, separate from India.
-
White Huns and allied tribes (1st phase): 450-650 A.D. i.e. about 200 yrs. Pakistan-based kingdoms ruled over parts of north India.
-
White Huns (2nd phase— mixed with other races): 650-1010 A.D. i.e. about 360 yrs. Independent Rajput-Brahmin Kingdoms, not part of India.
-
Ghaznavids: 1010-1187 A.D. i.e. 177 yrs. Part of Ghaznavid empire, separate from India.
-
Ghorid and Qubacha periods: 1187-1227 A.D. i.e. about 40 yrs. Independent, not part of India.
-
Muslim period (Slave dynasty, Khiljis, Tughlaqs, Syeds, Lodhis, Suris and Mughals): 1227-1739 A.D. i.e. about 512 yrs. Under north India based MUSLIM govts.
-
Nadir Shah and Abdali periods: 1739-1800 A.D. i.e. about 61 yrs. Iranian and Afghan suzerainty, not part of India.
-
Sikh rule (in Punjab, NWFP and Kashmir), Talpur rule in Sind, Khanate of Kalat in Baluchistan: 1800-1848 A.D. i.e. about 48 yrs. Independent states, not part of India.
-
British rule: 1848-1947 A.D. i.e. about 99 yrs (1843-1947 in Sind). Part of India under FOREIGN rule.
-
Muslim rule under the nomenclature of Pakistan: 1947-present. Independent, not part of India.
The above table reveals that during the 5000 years of Pakistan’s known history, this country was part of India for a total period of 711 yrs of which 512 yrs were covered by the MUSLIM period and about 100 years each by the Mauryan (mostly BUDDHIST) and British (CHRISTIAN) periods. Can anybody agree with the Indian ‘claim’ that Pakistan was part of India and that partition was unnatural? It hardly needs much intelligence to understand that Pakistan always had her back towards India and face towards the countries on her west. This is true both commercially and culturally.

u should have asked this question to rvikz.
india's relationship with iraq has been much better than Pakistan. Iraq didn't even recognise Pakistan in the first place.
rvikz,
that timeline is missing some important details
BC 313 : Buddhism was popularised in Sindh during emperor Ashoka’s period.
AD 280-500 : Persian rule. (Pre Islamic)
AD 550-711 : i) Rai Sahiras and his son Rai Sahasi ruled Sindh and formed Rai Dynasty.
(ii) Chach succeeded the Rai and founded Brahman Dynasty.
(iii) Raja Dahar (Chach’s son) took over from Chander (Chach’s brother). Raja Dahar ruled Sindh for several years until the invasion of Arabs, when he was killed.
There is little of 'Pakistan' in pre Islamic Sindh. It's rulers were Buddhits Rajputs and then Hindu Brahmins.
Hajjaj Bin Yusuf was the governor of Iraq under the Umayyad Caliph Al Walid ibn Abdul Malik. The king of Ceylone sent some gifts to the caliph but pirates plundered the ships and took hostages near Debal.
Hajjaj asked Dahir but he said the port wasn't under his jurisdiciton. After a couple of failed attempts Hajjaj sent his own son-in-law, 20 (some say 17) year old Muhammd Bin Qasim in 711, who managed to overcome Dahir in 712.

in history.

Damn Straight rvikz...Amazing it took an Indian to say the truth when so many Pakistanis would shy away from it.
The question is invalid because at that time there was neither Iraq nor India.
