270 Of the early History of Sindh. [No. 112. 



Jam Raeduch. 

 After the death of Sikunder, this man came with a large force to 

 Tattah, disclaiming any intention of seizing the throne, but to offer 

 protection to the Mussulmans, promising allegiance to whomsoever they 

 should elect as Jam; not finding a fit person, they elected Raeduch 

 himself to the sovereignty. In eighteen months he subdued the whole 

 of Sindh to his authority. When he had reigned for a period of eight 

 years and a half, Jam Sunjin usurped the sovereignty, and killed Jam 

 Raeduch by putting poison in his wine cup. 



Jam Sunjin 

 was a prince noted for his beauty and pleasing deportment. It 

 was foretold him by a holy Durwesh that he should govern Sindh ; 

 and on the death of Jam Raeduch, he was universally elected to 

 the throne. The country flourished under his rule, and was more 

 prosperous than it had ever been under his predecessors. The soldiers 

 and subjects were happy and at peace ; he encouraged learned and 

 holy men, and once a week gave alms to the poor. He reigned eight 

 years, and died. 



Jam Nizam-uddeen, better known as Jam Nundeh. 



In the year 866 h. 1461 a. d. on the 25th of the month Rubeh 

 866 h. 1461 a. d. Ul-uwul ascended the throne ; he was well received 

 by all classes, and became a powerful ruler. He was on terms of 

 great intimacy with Sooltan Hassan Lankar, of Mooltan. At the 

 end of this reign, Shah Beg Urghoon sent a large army from Kan- 

 dahar, which laid waste most of the places of Chundookeh and Sun- 

 deecheh. Jam Nundeh prepared and dispatched a force to oppose 

 this invasion ; the forces met at Dureh Rowul, (known as Julogeer,) 

 where a great battle was fought, in which the brother of Shah Beg 

 was killed, and his troops defeated. They fled to Kandahar, nor 

 did they again molest Sindh during the time of Jam Nundeh. He 

 passed the rest of his life in the society of Moolahs, and died 

 after a reign of forty-eight years. The country was at his death 

 torn with dissensions and rebellion. 



Jam Feeroz. 

 After the death of Jam Nundeh, his son Jam Feeroz was a minor, 

 and Jam Sullahudeen, the grandson of Jam Sunjur, wished to usurp
