Masum Shah
16th-century Sindhi Muslim historian
Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah Bakhri, also known as Syed Nizamuddin Mir Muhammad Masoom Shah, was a sixteenth-century Sindhi Muslim historian from Bakhar, Sindh (modern-day Pakistan). He is known for writing a history of Sindh, Tarikh i Sind (also known as, Tarikh i Masumi, after the author), published in ca. 1600.[1] He was also a trusted lieutenant of the Mughal emperor Akbar. In around 1595, he led Akbar's army in a battle against the Panni Afghans[2] stronghold of Sibi in northwest Quetta, resulting in Baluchistan being annexed into the Mughal empire.[3] Subsequently, in 1598, he was appointed the governor of Sind and Sibi by Akbar.[4]
