The Sumra dynasty, (also written Soomra dynasty or Soomro Dynasty) was established by Sumra Muslim Rajput tribe of Sindh, Pakistan.
The Sumra ruled Sindh from 1026-1351 AD. The dynasty had both Arab and local Sindhi heritage. The early Sumra rulers were Fatimid Shia Ismailis who owed allegiance to Fatmid Khalifas of Cairo. They sent them tribute and read their names in the Friday Khutba in Masjids. Sultan Mahmud of Ghazni a Orthodox Sunni Muslim in his campaign to defeat heterodox Shia Ismaili sect conquered the Sumra capital of Mansura. The Sumra shifted their capital to Tharri, nearly 14 km eastwards of Matli on the Puran. Puran was later abandoned due to changes in the course of Puran river. Then Thatta was the capital from about 95 years until the end of their rule in 1351 AD. The Sumra was defeated by the Samma Dynasty, Jams of Lasbela or currently known as the Alianis. Today the Soomro clan is settled in parts Sindh and southern Punjab.
