Mansura, Sindh
Mansura (Arabic: المنصورة, romanized: al-manṣūra, lit. 'the triumphant [city]'; Sindhi: منصوره), referred to as Brahmanabad or Bahmanabad (Sindhi: برهمڻ آباد, romanized: barhamaṇabād, pronounced [ˈbəɾɦəmnɑːˈbɑːd̪]) in later centuries, was the historic capital of the caliphal province of Sindh, during the eighth century under the Umayyad Caliphate, and later the Abbasid Caliphate from the year 750 AD to 1006 AD. Founded as a central garrison by Umayyad forces in Sindh, the city transformed into a metropolis during the Abbasid era, surpassing the wealth of both Multan to the north and Debal to the south. Mansura was the first capital established by Muslims in the South Asia after Muhammad bin Qasim seized the Brahmanabad territory.
