Sindhi diaspora

The Sindhi diaspora consists of Sindhi people who have emigrated from the historical Sindh province of British India,[1] as well as the modern Sindh province of Pakistan,[2] to other countries and regions of the world, as well as their descendants.

Apart from South Asia, there is a large and well-established community of Sindhis throughout different continents of the world - including Canada, Malaysia, Oman, Singapore, UAE, USA and UK etc.[3]

India

In 1947, about half of the Sindhi Hindu community migrated to India. As of the 2011 census, there were about 2.7 million Sindhis living in India.[4]

There is a sizeable population of Sindhis in the U.K. and U.S.A.

It is estimated that around 10,700 Sindhi of Afghanistan are part of a much larger Sindhi people group. Almost all of the Sindhi in Afghanistan are Hanafite Muslim.[5]
