Sindh after Bin Qasim.
There was now Muslim foothold in South Asia Sindhi remained part of the Umayyad and Abbasid caliphates,who appointed its governers.These governers used many of the local Hindu nobles to help them run the province.Sindh was famously rich,sending much gold to the rulers in Iraq.
With the Muslim conquest, the Arabic language and ways spread in the Indus region and Hindus and Muslims learnt from each other. The rulers of Iraq welcomed scholars from South Asia,skilled in medicine,mathematics, and astronomy.
Later,in the ninth and tenth centuries,Sindh's rulers became independent of Baghdad.There was one Muslim kingdom around Man sura in the south and another further north with its capital at Multan.
