Among the Sindh governors appointed by the Abbasid caliphate, Hisham ibn Amr al-Taghlibi was the most courageous ruler. He was appointed during the caliphate of al-Mansur (136 A.H. to 158 A.H.). on reaching Sindh, he re-annexed all those territories of the Province which had been receded due to rebellions and turmoil during his predecessor's rule.^[3]

He attacked Multan and annexed it. Next he invaded the parts of Karkota dynasty and captured booty as well as slaves. Further more, he invades the (Gandhar) near Bharuch and annexed into caliphate.
