Ok so I was born in Karachi and was raised here my parents are offsprings of migrants. I truly believe you are connected to the land you are born on and not the place your ancestors belonged too. Growing up in Karachi I wasn't exposed to sindhi culture much, my only exposure came when I spent 3 months in Mithi for something.

I have always be curious about the land I was born in but don't know so ig time to ask the natives? Growing up I got the earful of why Sindhis are bad and the PPP and everything but I always knew that wasn't the full story. But in my uni life I met many good Sindhi people and was able to see it's a rich and diverse bit of people and I need to talk to people to learn about it. It is sad to see the state of affairs in Sindh (ik not all Sindhi people support ppp). But the feudal lord system sucks and the fake pir systems sucks even harder in my opinion idk what you guys think about that (please don't cancel me). But I hate to see Sindhi people exploiting Sindhi people. I know stuff like this has happened to history and hopefully someday it will change.

Now to the point

1. How do I learn Sindhi and which dilect of Sindhi should I learn?

2. How hard it is to learn Sindhi? Because I already struggle a lot with Urdu I can speak and read fine writing is a disaster.

3. is it possible for me to learn how to speak it first?

4. any Sindhi artists I should know about?

5. famous Sindhi traditions?

6. sindhi cuisine?

7. how does the Sindhi society work?

Please add anything if I missed it.

What do you guys do on Diyari? How does your day begin? How does it end? What is Diyari about? I've little knowledge so I'd love to know more about my fellow Sindhis! ❤️

To make Sindh a place where everyone thrives, we need to remember that we’re all part of the same community. Regardless of our backgrounds, we are all Sindhis here, and together, we can make Sindh a truly beautiful place to live. Since the majority of people here speak Sindhi, it’s essential to promote the learning and use of Sindhi among all residents. Embracing Sindhi goes beyond language; it’s about honoring our shared heritage and fostering unity. Over 1400 years ago, our leaders taught us that we are all equal, sharing the same needs and aspirations. For Sindh to prosper, every corner, from neighborhoods to cities and districts, deserves progress and development. Real change happens when we support our local communities and work toward a stronger, more united Sindh. In the same way immigrants in the United States come from diverse backgrounds but unite through a common language, here in Sindh, our shared language can strengthen our bonds. Since the majority speaks Sindhi, it’s only natural to make it accessible for everyone. Although I’m not originally Sindhi, I am deeply invested in seeing Sindhi culture and language flourish. Sindh and Sindhi are now our common heritage, a part of our lives that we can all be proud of. Our children need each other to thrive, and by preserving and celebrating Sindh's culture, we ensure a better future for them. Let’s work together to make Sindh a place where everyone feels connected, welcomed, and truly at home.

Hey everyone Do Hindu's in sindh have Roy surname and if yes are they Sindhi speakers

As a Sindhi I always heard elders say we are descendants of Indus Valley people who built magnificent cities like Mohenjodaro but then this Aryan invasion theory was bought up by a European dude and now it has been changed to Aryan migration.

Now my question is what do our historians say about this? Did Aryans really exist in form of a foreign nation that invaded from the steppe ? Did Indus valley people really mix with farmers from Iran ? Or is that all bullshit and we are just descended from local tribes with some of us having foreign ancestries.

I know based on recorded history there are lots of Sindhis with foreign ancestries such as descent from Baloch tribes, Arab migrants, and Rajasthan-side migrants as well. Some Persian and Indo-Greek people might have left descendants among us also. I'm myself a man of foreign ancestry but the questions I mentioned kinda puzzle me. It doesn't help either that most studies on these topics were politically motivated.

TQ guys

Before starting I saw a post about racism against Sindhi so I thought let's get other pov btw I am Sindhi too (so I don't get banned in any chance)

I have heard that many Urdu speaking people have faced racism by sindhis For example my aunt went to nadra for (some stuff Idk) she was with one of her friends when my aunt told the officer that she is Sindhi he gave her a chair to sit and assisted her while her friend you know had to wait in lines

And my father's friend was failed multiple times cuz he was Urdu speaking

So I think racism is both sided what is y'all opinion on racism against Urdu speaking

Hi all.

I have recently had a baby boy who is half English (mothers side obviosly)

We have been looking at names and I really want something cool.

I saw a thread with traditional names and Raiden was on it. I love it!!

But is it from Sindh?

Im open to suggestions for boy names too.

Ranikot is so underrated. Since 2019, I have been going to Ranikot almost every year.

To those who haven't been to Ranikot. PLEASE GO

I'll start.

• Got told the towns we used to travel back to during the summer (Shikarpur) were shitholes and people mocked and laughed at the idea of going there

• Got told not to speak Sindhi by some students when me and other Sindhis students were having a conversation.

• Had a University teacher ask me if I was from "Interior Sindh" in a prominent business university in Karachi. When I replied that I was born and grew up here, he started to mock me saying you don't seem like it considering me dumb.

I've had plenty more. It was one of the reason it "awoke" me to the problems we face in society. But I wanna hear yours too.

Archaeological evidence suggests that the Indus Valley people were among the first to domesticate the red junglefowl, the wild ancestor of today’s chickens, around 2000 BCE.

As this civilization traded extensively with Mesopotamia, Persia, and Central Asia, domesticated chickens made their way across these regions, spreading through trade routes to the Middle East, and eventually into Africa and Europe. By the time Alexander the Great reached the Indus region in the 4th century BCE, chickens were already well-known across Asia and beyond, partly due to these ancient trade connections.

the red junglefowl, which was indigenous to South Asia. Initially, these birds might have been kept for ritual or symbolic purposes, as animal bones found at Indus Valley sites are sometimes associated with religious practices. Over time, however, chickens became valued for their eggs and meat, solidifying their place in the agricultural and cultural landscape.

Today’s backyard hens are a living legacy of the Indus Valley people’s early agricultural ingenuity, reminding us of how interconnected human history truly is.
