Jam Nizamuddin I

Jam Nizamuddin Shah I was the seventh Sultan of Sindh. He belonged to the Samma dynasty, which ruled from 1351 to 1520.

Reign

Following the death of Jam Salahuddin I, Jam Nizamuddin was chosen as ruler by the nobles and tribal chiefs of Sindh. He was a kind and benevolent ruler. Early in his reign, he released his father's cousins and the sons of Jam Togachi, namely Jam Sikandar I, Jam Karan, Jam Bahauddin, and Jam Aamir, who had been imprisoned on the advice of ministers during Jam Salahuddin I's reign. Jam Nizamuddin assigned them to administrative roles in distant parts of the state. During his reign, Sindh suffered many Delhi Sultanate incursions and raids.
Opposition from his father's cousins later compelled Jam Nizamuddin to leave Sindh and travel toward Gujarat. After his departure, the nobles and tribal leaders chose his uncle, Jam Ali Sher, as the ruler, while Jam Karan was excluded from the succession.
Jam Nizamuddin died during his attempted escape after being captured by the men of Jam Karan.
