The Tarkhan dynasty (Sindhi: ترخان گهراڻو), was established by a Tarkhan and ruled the Sindh Sultanate from 1554 to 1593.[1] General Mirza Isa Beg founded the Tarkhan dynasty in Sindh after the death of Shah Husayn Arghun of the Arghun dynasty.[2]

The Mughal emperor Akbar annexed Sindh in 1593 after defeating the last Tarkhan ruler, who continued to rule as Governors for the Mughals.[3][2]
