The Tarkhan dynasty (Persian: خانوادهٔ ترخان),[3] was established by a Tarkhan and ruled the Sindh Sultanate from 1554 to 1593.[4] General Mirza Isa Beg founded the Tarkhan dynasty in Sindh after the death of Shah Husayn Arghun of the Arghun dynasty.[5]
The Mughal emperor Akbar annexed Sindh in 1593 after defeating the last Tarkhan ruler, who continued to rule as Governors for the Mughals.[6][5]
Legacy
The Arghun rulers have their tombs at the Makli Necropolis.
