The Arab conquest of Sindh, also known as the Muslim conquest of Sindh , took place between 711-713 AD in present-day Pakistan during which the Umayyad Caliphate defeated the Chach dynasty, the last Hindu dynasty to rule over Sindh, and incorporated Sindh (including a portion of southern Punjab and Makran) as a province of the empire, officially establishing the first Islamic entity in South Asia.
