==Military service==
In the days of Mongol, Sultan Hussain Mirza Baiqra, of Khurasan, on complaints of the merchants of Central Asia (Herat and Qandhar), that they were looted by Sir.dhis, the Sultan sent an armed expedition to Sind border, which after initial raids returned to their country. A declaration of victory was issued in Herat in 892 A.H. (1487 AD). It states that the infidels (Sindhis), aware of Mongol movements, collected a large army and wanted to make a surprise attack but the Islamic forces (Mongols) learned of it and made offensive attacks, killing many of these Hindus (forces of Jam Nizamuddin). As a result of this success declaration of victory was issued.

In the Mongol days, Sultan Hussain Mirza Baiqra, of [[Khorasan province|Khurasan]], responding to complaints of the Central Asian merchants of Herat and Qandhar that they had been looted by Sindhis, sent an armed expedition to the Sind border. A declaration of victory was issued in [[Herat]] in 892 A.H. (1487 A.D.). It stated that the infidels (Sindhis), aware of Mongol movements, collected a large army and planned a surprise attack. Still, the Mongol Islamic forces learned of it and attacked, killing many Hindus (led by Jam Nizamuddin).  
 
This may have been an attack on the Sindh border without any results. Amir Zul Noon Arghoon was then Herat's Naib at Qandhar. He seems to have despatched his son Shah Beg on this expedition. The latter captured [[Sibi Fort]] from Bahadur Khan and installed his brother Sultan Mohammad, who was later defeated and killed by Mubarak Khan (Darya Khan Dullah) near Jalwagir in the [[Bolan Pass]].

The latter captured the Sibi Fort from Jam Nizamuddin's agent Bahadur Khan and installed his brother Sultan Mohammad, who later on was defeated and killed by Mubarak Khan Lashari (Darya Khan Lashari Dullah) near Jalwagir in Bolan Pass, close to Bibi Nani.
Mongol troops had advanced as far as [[Chanduka]], Sardecha, and Kot Machhi. After they were expelled by Darya Khan, they did not return to Sindh during Jam Nizamuddin's lifetime.


After this incident, the Mongols did not turn up in Sindh during the life of Jam Nizamuddin. At that time, the Mongol troops had advanced as far as [[Chanduka]], Sardecha, and Kot Machhi, but after being expelled by Darya Khan Lashari, they never turned back during Jam Nizamuddin's lifetime.
Jam Nizamuddin died after 48 years of rule of Sind and was succeeded by his son Nasiruddin Abul Fatah Feroz Shah-II. At that time, Jam Feroz had neglected affairs of state and refused the advice of Darya Khan, who retired to his Jagir in the village Ghaha (Kahan near Sehwan). These failures brought his defeat at the hands of Salahuddin who became Sindh's ruler. Feroz Shah, along with his mother Madina Machhani went over to Ghaha to Darya Khan, who at the request of Madina agreed to help. He collected troops from Sehwan, but lost to Haji, the Minister of Jam Salahuddin. The Minister's letter about the success fell into the hands of Darya Khan, who replaced it, conveying to Salahuddin that the Minister's forces had been defeated. Darya Khan then moved Feroz Shah to Thatta and installed him as 1st Shawwal, 918 A.H. (2 October 1512 A.D.). Salahuddin then returned to Gujarat. He remained in possession of Thatta for about eight months and collected a large sum of money from Thatta and organized another battle.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Puri |first1=B.

Death of Jam Nizamuddin Samma after 48 years rule of Sind and was succeeded by his son Nasiruddin Abul Fatah Feroz Shah-II. At that time Jam Feroz had neglected the affairs of the state, refused the advice of Darya Khan Lashari, who had to retire to his Jagir in the village Ghaha (Kahan near Sehwan and these failures brought his defeat at the hands of Salahuduin who thus became the ruler of Sind. Feroz Shah along with his mother Madina Machhani went over to Ghaha to Darya Khan Lashari, who at the request of Madina agreed to help, collected troops from Sehwan, but got the first setback at the hands of Haji, the Minister of Jam Salahuddin. As luck would have it the Minister's letter about the success of the initial battle addressed to Jam Salahuddin fell in the hands of Darya Khan Lashari, who had it replaced, conveying Salahuddin that the Minister's forces had been defeated and it was advisable for him to abandon Thatta. This was quickly done. Darya Khan Lashari then moved Feroz Shah to Thatta and installed him on 1st Shawwal, 918 A.H. (1512 A D. 12 October). Salahuddin then returned to Gujarat. He had remained in possession of Thatta for about eight months and must have collected a large sum of money from Thatta and organized another battle.

Darya Khan was a Lashari Baloch[1] and the adopted son and prime minister of Jam Nizamuddin II.[2]Template:Reliable source Darya Khan Sammo became the 'Dollah' (Hero) of Sindh. On his deathbed, Jam Nizamuddin, entrusted Darya Khan to care for his kingdom, his treasures, his family, and his minor son Jam Feroz.

Military service[edit | edit source]

In the Mongol days, Sultan Hussain Mirza Baiqra, of Khurasan, responding to complaints of the Central Asian merchants of Herat and Qandhar that they had been looted by Sindhis, sent an armed expedition to the Sind border. A declaration of victory was issued in Herat in 892 A.H. (1487 A.D.). It stated that the infidels (Sindhis), aware of Mongol movements, collected a large army and planned a surprise attack. Still, the Mongol Islamic forces learned of it and attacked, killing many Hindus (led by Jam Nizamuddin).

This may have been an attack on the Sindh border without any results. Amir Zul Noon Arghoon was then Herat's Naib at Qandhar. He seems to have despatched his son Shah Beg on this expedition. The latter captured Sibi Fort from Bahadur Khan and installed his brother Sultan Mohammad, who was later defeated and killed by Mubarak Khan (Darya Khan Dullah) near Jalwagir in the Bolan Pass.

Mongol troops had advanced as far as Chanduka, Sardecha, and Kot Machhi. After they were expelled by Darya Khan, they did not return to Sindh during Jam Nizamuddin's lifetime.

Jam Nizamuddin died after 48 years of rule of Sind and was succeeded by his son Nasiruddin Abul Fatah Feroz Shah-II. At that time, Jam Feroz had neglected affairs of state and refused the advice of Darya Khan, who retired to his Jagir in the village Ghaha (Kahan near Sehwan). These failures brought his defeat at the hands of Salahuddin who became Sindh's ruler. Feroz Shah, along with his mother Madina Machhani went over to Ghaha to Darya Khan, who at the request of Madina agreed to help. He collected troops from Sehwan, but lost to Haji, the Minister of Jam Salahuddin. The Minister's letter about the success fell into the hands of Darya Khan, who replaced it, conveying to Salahuddin that the Minister's forces had been defeated. Darya Khan then moved Feroz Shah to Thatta and installed him as 1st Shawwal, 918 A.H. (2 October 1512 A.D.). Salahuddin then returned to Gujarat. He remained in possession of Thatta for about eight months and collected a large sum of money from Thatta and organized another battle.[3]

Last days of Darya Khan[edit | edit source]

Records of his last days include:

Tahiri:

that the courtiers being jealous of his power and position persuaded Feroz Shah to crush him, but the latter finding himself incapable avoided any direct conflict; so they approached Feroz's mother Madina Machhani advising her to invite the Mongols and Arghuns to free Sindh from the power of Darya Khan. According to this plan, Madina invited Shah Beg from Qandahar. Shah Beg took the Baghban-Sehwan route and encountered Darya Khan near the 'Khan Wan' canal which he had himself built to irrigate the lands of village Sankorah (Sakro) and other areas (of Thatta and Sakro Talukas). Darya Khan was killed while fighting bravely when an arrow hit him in the throat. Feroz Shah kept aloof.[4]


Masumi:

Some Mongols had migrated to Thatta and entered the service of Jam Feroz who had assigned a separate quarter to them called Mongol Pura. One Mir Qasim Kaibakian Arghoon encouraged and induced Shah Beg to undertake the conquest of Thatta and, therefore, Shah Beg made reparations and was first opposed near Talhati (Talti) by Matan Khan (Motan Khan) son of Darya Khan, but avoiding them Shah Beg reached Khanwah located 6 miles north of the city of Thatta, crossed the river at a point where it was shallow and reached near Thatta. Darya Khan left Feroz Shah in the city and came out to fight a fierce battle, which he lost, and was captured by Tingari Birdi Qabtasal and put to sword along with the other Samma soldiers. Jam Feroz took to flight.

Beglar Namat:

he was captured and killed.

Zafar-ul-Walih:


he was called by the Arghoons to discuss peace terms and treacherously murdered.

Shrine[edit | edit source]

The shrine of Dollah Darya Khan Sammo is in Makli graveyard in Thatta, near the grave of Jam Nizamuddin Samma. An inscription at the north of Mubarak Khan's grave calls him Al Khanul Azam Wa Shahid Mubarak Khan Ibn Sultan Nizamuddin.[citation needed]
