Re: Sindh Through Centuries!
I think Jatki dialect of Sindhi is spoken there by both Pashtuns and Balochs . Gazeteer of Sibi mentions that Sindhi of Pannis is mixed with lot of Pashto words.
yes it is also known as Jatki. It is under influence of Brahvi, Saraiki and Balochi

I wonder what this Taank is in Punjab...
Poor Kashmir has remained independent most of its history...
There is Tank in KPk which, interestingly, is also called Takk by locals.

Re: Sindh Through Centuries!
I came to know that there were Sindhi Sikhs who also migrated to India. Read about murder of a Sikh near Ratan tala School (near Tibet Centre, Karachi) in Amar Jaleel’s autobiography (his childhood memories).

Nowadays, Udasipanth and the followers of Guru Gobind can be merged into one broader group of Nanakpanthis. The Nanakpanthi sect is a blend of the Sikh and Hindu religions. Almost all the Hindus of Sindh belong to the Nanakpanthi or Nanakshahi group. Although there are other sects too, namely Daryapanthis (followers of Darya Shah, aka Khwaja Khizar, Zinda pir Amarlal, Jhulelal and Uderolal as he is known by various names) and Nath Jogis (Shaivite renouncers).
Re: Sindh Through Centuries!
so, you are Khudaabadi Aamil
The background of the Sindhi Amils
Legend has it that a long time ago (around 1870 AD) the city of Hyderabad was destroyed by a massive fire. The ruler of the time know as “MIR” scouted around for talent to rebuild the city. No finding people with the required skills and knowledge he decided to search for them in surrounding areas.
After much effort he came upon a “Adiomal” in the vicinity of Multan, a city further north of Hyderabad. He offered Adiomal a handsome remuneration for rebuilding the city on a new site.
But, Adiomal who was a devout Sikh, was not willing to undertake the task unless the Moslem Mir, would allow him to bring with him the religious books of the Sikhs ( Granth) and establish a site of Worship in the new Hyderabad that would be free of Moslem harassment. The Mir finally consented to this demand.
Adiomal ( the founder of the Advani clan) then discussed the project at hand with his close associates and they chose Gidumal,(Gidwani clan) a well known civil engineer of the time and Wadhumal (Wadhwani Clan) who was knowledgeable in Commerce to accompany Adiomal and assist in the implementation of construction.
So its is that the city of Hyderabad became a home to the Hindu Sindhi Amils of Khudabad.
When the Amils began to move to Hyderabad, Sind, they set up their homes in clusters of family relatives. (The conventional style of living in joint families in one structure.) The streets to be know as the Advani, Gidwani, Wadhwani streets.
Due to the fact that in days gone past the children learnt the skills of their parents and carried on the profession or trade of the father, it made sense to locate the cloth merchants, the gold & silver merchants or the food merchants in clusters on one street.
It is for this reason that when a young person is/was introduced to a older person on of the first questions would be " Whose son or daughter are you? The response to this question invariably let to a connection e.g. Oh yes! I know him, he used to be the judge in Hyderabad

Re: Sindh Through Centuries!
Bro,you may not believe but during my school and college days,I was termed a `Muslim migrated from Pakistan’!!!
The general perception is that Sindhi Hindus are not Hindus but Muslims!!!
Yes,Sindhis were not welcomed much and I had mentioned this in one of my posts in an earlier threads.The general perception is that Sindhis are cut throat businesspeople(indeed,yes),are selfish,womenfolks though they date people of other castes(I mean Non-Sindhis) but never marry them(kind of girl ditching boy friend),selfish to the core that we do not even people belonging to other community even a cup of tea at tea shop!!..Also our womenfolks are very open regarding sex and openly talk about sex,highly social,gents are fat…These are the things going on…Rumours and lies…
I would say,barring a few exceptions,we still maintain our traditions and culture and our elders do not encourage us to marry from outside community.That is one reason my marriage got delayed.. 
Here in Bangalore,we have a sizable community and a temple at a place called Cox Town.We conduct regular meetings and prayers.
There is an inter community trust for funds available for the members of the community.That is available free of interest but the repayment time is Diwali time,usually around.The amount can be in many Lakhs with minimal document requirements.Of course forfeiting the same means,the person can not avail the loan again,possibly for life time.

Re: Sindh Through Centuries!
In the book 'Making of Exile', writer tells us that Sindhi Hindus were not welcomed in India after partition due to the fact that after living in Sindh, they didn't believe in theory of 'untouchables' and were not vegetarian (They started consuming meat). I've interaction with neighbor Hindus and family friends. I've seen sharing of same well between us (Muslim family) and a Hindu family (we share common wall), so not believing in untouchable by Sindhi Hindus is what I can certify myself.
How is the situation with Sindhi Hindus who passed 6-7 decades in India?
Bro,we do not believe in these `untouchable' things.What I had heard from my grand parents is that,they had unheard of such things.
But in Punjab,Hindus paid a heavy price by following this system.They had alienated themselves from the Muslim community with this practise(Hindus would never touch or drink from the utensils used by Muslims).
Bhai, Are your Hindu neighbours originally from Sindh or migrated from elsewhere?

so Hindu Pani / Muslim Pani was not followed in Sindh. Unfortunately, I now observe this from Sndhi Muslims towards Sindhi Hindus in today's Sindh.

Re: Sindh Through Centuries!

Recently, I had a very long chit-chat session with my Dada (baba waddo). I used to think that our neighbor Hindus were always there, but now I knew that it was a home of Dada's relatives, who lost it to a Muhajir family due to claim complications after 1947 because they had a pledge on their house with a Hindu who migrated to India. The Muhajir family then sold it to this Hindu family. As per baba waddo, these Hindus came from a nearby village.
This particular case is a perfect example how Sindhi Muslims faced problems at the time of partition by losing their pledged properties to Muhajirs in claims, even after paying lot of interest to Hindus.

I’m learning new stories of conversion. Voluntary (past) and Forced (past and present both).
Masjid e Manzil e Gah incident in 1930s-1940s polarized the society and started communal riots in Sindh and thats how Muslim League got popularity in Sindh. Blood smell in our roots.
