History timeline for Sindh
The eras of Pakistan's history that most shaped Sindh, from past to present.
- 3300–1300 BCEIndus Valley Civilisation
One of the world's three earliest urban civilisations. Mohenjo-daro (Sindh) and Harappa (Punjab) had planned grid streets, brick sewers, and standardised weights 4,500 years ago. Both are UNESCO World Heritage sites in modern Pakistan.
- 711–1200 CEArrival of Islam
In 712 CE, the 17-year-old Umayyad general Muhammad bin Qasim captured Sindh and Multan — one of the earliest Muslim conquests east of Persia. Two centuries later, Mahmud of Ghazni made Lahore his eastern capital (1021), beginning eight centuries of Islamic rule over the region.
- 1206–1526Delhi Sultanate & Sufi shrines
The Delhi Sultans ruled from what is now Pakistan and North India. Sufi masters — Data Ganj Bakhsh (Lahore), Lal Shahbaz Qalandar (Sehwan), Bahauddin Zakariya and Shah Rukn-e-Alam (Multan), Baba Farid (Pakpattan) — turned the subcontinent's spiritual landscape and are still visited by millions.
- 1849–1947British Raj
The British built the Karachi–Lahore–Peshawar rail network, the Sukkur Barrage (1932) and the world's largest contiguous canal system in Punjab. The North-West Frontier Province and the tribal agencies became the front line of the Great Game with Russia, and the Khyber Pass was fortified against Afghanistan.
- 1906–1947The Pakistan Movement
The All-India Muslim League was founded in 1906. In 1930, Allama Iqbal called for a separate Muslim state in his Allahabad address. The Lahore Resolution of 23 March 1940 (passed at Minto Park, now Iqbal Park) formalised the demand — Pakistan was created on 14 August 1947 with Muhammad Ali Jinnah as its first Governor-General.
