Hearing the name of the Sindhi community, one remembers India’s oldest civilization which was adopted by the whole country. When the country was partitioned in 1947, Sindhis were forced to leave their beloved province of Sindh. When they first arrived in India they came with what little they could carry on their backs. Ever since, the Sindhi community has contributed more than its fair share to India’s economy, politics, sports, film industry, education, etc. Who doesn’t know about these great Sindhi personalities like India’s first chief minister Suchita Kriplani, L.k.Adwani, Ram Jethmalani, Pankaj Advani, and of course, Ranveer Singh.
Sindhis have never demanded a separate state or special rights for themselves. Rather, even after living in different parts of the country, they preserved their traditions and culture. Sindhis are industrious, fun-loving, and artistic people whose history is as rich if not richer than a lot of states. Sindhi community is the 6th richest community in the world. Today most of the prestigious educational institutes, hospitals and, housing societies are owned and operated by Sindhis. Having seen such tough times themselves Sindhi charitable trusts are renowned for the help they provide to humanity globally.
Sindhis are very fond of eating and feeding others their delicious dishes like Kadi chawal, daal pakwaan, dahi koki, and meetho lolo. Most. of these are world-famous delicacies. The Sindhi community also celebrates their traditional festivals like Jhulelal jo Chaliyo ain Behrano, Teejri, Thadri, etc. with great enthusiasm. Being big-hearted they also organize Bhandaras and distribute food among all people – without any discrimination.
I pray that my Sindhi community always maintains its culture and traditions. Our future generations must also respect their culture and keep it to its glory. I am proud to be a Sindhi. Proud that I belong to the Sindhi community.
