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 elected as ruler by the nobles and tribal chiefs of Sindh. He was a kind and benevolent ruler. Early in his reign, he ordered the release of his father's cousins and the sons of Jam Togachi, Jam Sikandar I, Jam Karan, Jam Bahauddin, and Jam Aamir, who were previously imprisoned on the advice of ministers during Jam Salahuddin I's rule. These individuals were subsequently assigned administrative responsibilities in outlying regions of the state.

During Jam Nizamuddin's reign, Sindh experienced several incursions and raids by the forces of the Delhi Sultanate.

Internal opposition, particularly from his father's cousins, later compelled him to leave Sindh and travel toward Gujarat. After his departure, the nobles and tribal leaders elected his uncle, Jam Ali Sher, as ruler, while Jam Karan was excluded from the succession.

Jam Nizamuddin died after being captured by the forces of Jam Karan while attempting to escape.
