In 1521 A.D. (end of 927 A.H.), the Samma dynasty of Sindh reached a critical juncture as Jam Salahuddin II, supported by Gujarati Troops, Sodhas, Jareja Sammas, and Sahta Sammas, launched a decisive campaign against his rival, Jam Feroz II. Conquest of Samanagar secured Salahuddin’s dominance and marked Feroz II’s decline, with his reliance on Arghun support further diminishing his credibility among his followers.

Background

In January-February 1521 A.D., Shah Beg Arghun moved his camp from Samanagar. Jam Feroz came to submit, and his submission was accepted. Sindh was divided: the southern part, south of Laki, was given to Jam Feroz as Shah Beg Arghun’s governor and protégé, while Northern Sindh was annexed and placed under Shah Beg’s direct control. As a protégé, Feroz agreed to share part of the land revenue with Shah Beg Arghun. This subservience led to Feroz losing respect and prestige among his people. After spending three days at Taltí, Shah Beg returned to Shál and Siwí, while Jam Feroz resumed his rule over Samanagar. However, in November 1521 A.D., Jam Salahuddin, took advantage of the weakening situation in Sindh and invaded Samanagar with a large army.
