Interesting point. Whats the difference between Baloch and Baroch?

I have felt that there is a lot of interaction between Sindhis and Baloch’s, particularly due to the geography. What are the major castes of Sindh?

I’ve just put my hands on the book last night, its a voluminous work (above 1000 pages).

Generally Baroch living in Kirthar range of Sindh are considered as those migrated from Balochistan. Ayaz Bhaghat proves otherwise. He says that Sindhi tribes are normally recognised due to their geographic location. Like LaaRi, Thari, Kohistani, Kachhai (all behind the names LaaR. Thar,Kohistan, Kaachho, etc). so Baroch is not the variant of Baloch. Baloch (Bal = strengh like kas bal, loch = chest), Baloch = chest power / front power. These people were first resistance to the invaders entering in Sindh and therefore got title of Baloch / Baroch and they were present in Sindh even at the time of Persian and Arab conquest.
