Sindhis are a Sindhi speaking ethnic group of people native to the Sindh province of Pakistan.

While a majority of Sindhis follow Islam, a significant number follow Hinduism and there are smaller numbers professing Christianity, Sikhism, Jainism and Zoroastrianism.Some of the places in Sindh have been inhabited as early as the 3rd millenium BCE.

A large number of Indus valley sites have been found in Sindh.

Sindh is ruled by Hindu, Buddhist and Zoroastrian kingdoms until 712, when it becomes a part of the Umayyad Caliphate.

While Sindhis are originally Hindus or Buddhists, starting from the Islamic conquest in the 8th century CE, large numbers convert to Islam.Sindhi culture is highly influenced by Sufi doctrines and principles.

Some of the popular cultural icons are Raja Dahir, Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Jhulelal and Sachal Sarmast.Following the partition of India in 1947, most Hindus, Sikhs and Jains migrate to India and other parts of the world, though as of 1998, Hindus still constitute about 6% of the total Sindhi population in Pakistan.

Sindhis in different parts of the world form their own social gatherings or sammelans and associations.
