The Turk Shahi were a Turkic dynasty that ruled from Kabul and Kapisa in the 7th to 9th centuries. The heartland of their domain was Kabulistan, and at times included Zabulistan and Gandhara. The Turk Shahi replaced the Hunic dynasty of the Nezak. During their rule, they were the bulwark against the eastward expansion of the Abbasid Caliphate. The last Turkic ruler of Kabul, Lagaturman, was deposed by his Brahman c. 850, signaling the end of the Buddhist Turk Shahi dynasty, and the beginning of the Hindu Shahi dynasty of Kabul.
