The Brahmin dynasty (c. 632–712),[2] also known as the Chacha dynasty[3] or Silaij dynasty,[4] was a Hindu[5] dynasty that ruled the Sindh region, succeeding the Rai dynasty. Most of the information about its existence comes from the Chach Nama, a historical account of the Chach-Brahmin dynasty.[6]
The members of the dynasty continued to administer parts of Sindh under the Umayyad Caliphate's Caliphal province of Sind after it fell in 712.[2] These rulers include Hullishāh and Shishah.[2]
