Samma dynasty
The Sammas were a Sindhi Muslim dynasty founded by Unar bin Babinah in 1351, independent of the Delhi Sultanate. Its rulers took the title jam, equivalent to sultan, and ruled from Samanagar (Thatta). Their monuments at the Makli Necropolis survive; the Arghuns conquered them in the early 16th century.
