CHACHNAMA: Sindh par Arabo ke Akraman tatha Bharatiya Pratirodh ka Itihas

CHACHNAMAH: Sindh par Arabon ke Akrman tatha Bharteey Pratirodh ka Itihas(The Histroy of Arab invasion of Sindh and Indian Resistance) This book is a Hindi rendition of the original book in Persian entitled “CHACHNAMAH” written in 13th AD by Ali ibn Hamid ibn Abu Bakr Kufi. This is a history of series of Islamic Invasions of Sindh from 634 AD to 715 AD. This important historical event in the then western frontier of India has not been given its due place in the current curriculum in school or college level in India. Hindi rendition is an effort to reach out to the vast masses in the Hindi belt. It is immensely relevant for our young generation to know full details about this first Islamic Invasion on our soil. This Arab invasions of 7th and early 8th century were entirely different than the earlier invasions by Persians, Greeks, Sakas, Parthians, Kushanas and Hunas as these latter were soon assimilated with our ethos and culture, however the former were not so, rather in the wake of invasions, came the explicit intent to annihilate the indigenous culture and replace it with Islamic monotheism. In order to know this aspect as well as to have a firsthand feel of how our Sindhi ancestors firmly stood against these rapacious invaders, this book is a must to read for all Indians. It has been translated into Hindi by Shapur Navsari and edited by Vinay Krishna Chaturvedi “Tufail”.
