History
Sindhis (Sindhī) are a socio-ethnic group of people originating
from Sindh, a province of modern day Pakistan. After the 1947
independence of India and Pakistan, many Sindhi Hindus
migrated to India and some later settled in other parts of the
world.

showed the roots of social life, religion and culture of the people
of the Sindh: their agricultural practices, traditional arts and
crafts, customs and tradition and other parts of social life. Recent
researches have traced the Indus valley civilization to even
earlier ancestry.
