Chach (c. 631–671 AD, Sindhi: چچ) was a Hindu Brahmin king of Sindh region of the Indian subcontinent in the mid-7th century AD. He was in service of the court of Rai Sahasi II and became a close confidate of the king and the queen.[1] When Rai Sahasi died, he married the widowed queen and thus became ruler of Sindh.[1] His ascend was challanged by Rai Sahasi's brother from Chittor, who claimed to be rightful successor of the kingdom. He marched to Sind but was killed by Chanch by stratagem. Thus Chanch became ruler of Sindh and laying foundation of a short-lived Brahmin dynasty of Sindh.[1][2] Chach expanded the kingdom of Sindh and defeated those who objected to his ascend like Agham Lohana.[2] His his successful efforts to subjugate surrounding monarchies and ethnic groups into an empire covering the entire Indus valley and beyond were recorded in the Chach Nama. Upon his death, Chach was succeeded by his brother Chandar; Chandar is stated to have ruled for eight years, whereupon Dahir, Chach's eldest son, inherited the throne.[1][3][2]
