The Turk Shahi (Turkish: Türk Şahiler) were a Turkic dynasty that ruled from Kabul and Kapisa in the 7th to 9th centuries. The replaced the Nezak – the last dynasty of Bactrian rulers with origins among the Xwn (Xionite) and/or Huna peoples (who are sometimes also referred to as "Huns", under the controversial belief that they were linked to Huns that invaded Eastern Europe during a similar period).
Kabulistan was the heartland of the Turk Shahi domain, which at times included Zabulistan.[4] and Gandhara.
During their rule, the Turk Shahi were an obstacle to the eastward expansion of the Abbasid Caliphate.
The last Shahi ruler of Kabul, Lagaturman, was deposed by a Brahmin minister in c. 850, signaling the end of the Buddhist Turk Shahi dynasty, and the beginning of the Hindu Shahi dynasty of Kabul.[5]
