Fatehnamah-e-Sindh (English and Persian)

The book, Fatahnamah-i-Sindh being in original record of the conquest of Sindh by Arabs during 712 A.D. – 715 A.D. is perhaps the first detailed account of the history on Sindh. But due to many reasons there are many ambiguities and many names of places are not clear. As with spell of time many ancient cities have been destroyed and geographical changes have accord. The changing courses of the Indus has destroyed many ports and cities. It was need to correct Persian text
interpret the geographical positions of the places mentioned in the book. Keeping all confusions and mistakes Dr. N.A. Baloch started working on Persian text of Fatahnamah from 1944 to 1963.
In this book Persian text including its edited preface in Persian and its introduction and notes and commentary in English is being reprinted here. It was first published as part of the Institute of Islamic History, Culture and CivilizationIslamabad in 1982. Since this important book was out of print Board of Trustees of EndowmentFund Trust decided to reprint and produced it 100th birth day of Dr. N.A. Baloch to pay him due acknowledgment.
