Sindhis[b] are an Indo-Aryan ethnic group originating from and native to Sindh, a region of present-day Pakistan, who share a common Sindhi culture, history, ancestry, and language.
Recognized as one of the scheduled languages of India and an official language in Pakistan, Sindhi has been the medium through which generations of poets, saints, and scholars have expressed their thoughts, spirituality, and wisdom.
Sindhis are largely a mixture of Sindhi Hindus and Sindhi Muslims; the two established communities, in spite of religious differences, share the Sindhi language and much of their culture.
Through the blog, Sindhi Khazana, I hope to explore the history, culture, and heritage of Sindhis. A lot has been written and documented on these topics – a Google search will reveal many websites, videos, and articles on Sindhis, by Sindhis and for Sindhis.
Sindhi diaspora thrives globally, excelling in trade and entrepreneurship. Despite modernization challenges, efforts continue to preserve Sindhi language, traditions, and identity. With strong roots and adaptability, Sindhis remain a vibrant part of Pakistan and the global community.

Sindhis (pronounced SIN-deez) are dominant in Sindh and are found throughout Pakistan. They divided into occupational and caste groupings. At least 80 percent of Sindhis are Muslim, mostly Sunni. They live primarily in Sindh Province and elsewhere in Pakistan.
The name "Sindhi" is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Sindhu' the original name of the Indus River. The Sindh region is historically significant as it was a part of the ancient Indus Valley Civilization, one of the world's oldest urban civilizations.
