The Tarkhan dynasty (Sindhi: ترخان گهراڻو), was established by a Tarkhan and ruled the Sindh Sultanate from 1554 to 1593.[3] General Mirza Isa Beg founded the Tarkhan dynasty in Sindh after the death of Shah Husayn Arghun of the Arghun dynasty.[4]
The Mughal emperor Akbar annexed Sindh in 1593 after defeating the last Tarkhan ruler, who continued to rule as Governors for the Mughals.[5][4]
Legacy
[edit]The Arghun rulers have their tombs at the Makli Necropolis.
