Habbari Emirate

854 CE – 1026 CE · about 172 years

The Habbaris were an Arab dynasty that ruled much of Sindh as a semi-independent emirate from Mansura. Beginning with Umar bin Abdul Aziz al-Habbari in 854, Sindh became semi-independent of the Abbasids while still recognising the caliph. Mahmud of Ghazni defeated them in 1026, destroyed Mansura and annexed Sindh.
