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 Malaysia, Oman, Singapore, UAE, USA and UK etc.^[3]

India[edit]

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

Foreign lands[edit]

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]
