This is a pious smiley, the suicide vest is hidden from your eyes. InshaAllah it will serve to spread Islam in the world. It will not stop until the last kafir is removed from the face of the world. 
Re: Sindhi Hindus Vs Sindhi Muslims
The question then arises how the Sindhi Muslims remained backward? Let us go back to 1843 AD to review the situation. The Muslims in Sindh were equally backward as compared to the Hindus even in 1843 AD as is given in a large number of the British writings published before and soon after the conquest of Sindh. The important among these being Alexander Burnes, James Burnes Pottinger’s, Burton, William Napier’s selections from the records of the Government of Bombay, Vol. XVII, among others. In view of these we lose the above claim of blaming the British. Do we then have to blame the predecessors of the British i.e Muslims for keeping the Sindhis backward? In 1783 AD when the Talpurs took over from the Kalhoras and even in 1701 AD when the Kalhoras started advancing from North Western Sindh, we find the Muslims backward. Inspite of this we can only partly blame the Kalhoras and Talpurs for allowing the Muslims to remain backward during the 140 years of their rule.
** In order to probe into the real causes for this let us go back to another two centuries i.e to 1500 AD. Were the Sindhi-Muslims backward then also? The answer is definitely no.** In 1500 AD we find the Sindhi Muslims as heads of educational institutions, writers, poets, saints, warriors, heads of Government Administrative Departments, and businessmen carrying trade within the country and abroad. In general, we find them economically prospering. Militarily, they were strong enough to repel the Mangol troops of Shah Beg across the Bolan Pass. By then they had retained their military strength for nearly 130 years. In 1351 AD they could not be conquered by the Imperial forces of Mohammad Tughlaq, Emperor of Delhi and chased his troops out of their dominions. Fourteen years later in 1365 AD., Feroz Shah tughlaq, another Emperor, was defeated by them near Thatta and in another battle a year and half later, Feroz Shah facing the strength of Sindhi troops was compelled to bring in Makhdoom Jahania of Uch for a compromise solution. Since then the Sindh troops had faced no defeat at a battle front.
Heroic Struggle of Sindh Against Feudalism (1500AD to 1873AD)
In 1843 AD one could see a few large towns in Sindh with the Hindus forming majority of the population n each town. It is a mystery how the Hindus survived the ordeal of 200 years of the Mughal occupation. Bhirumal has given a clue that the majority of the Hindus in Sindh migrated from Punjab somewhere after 1600 AD and this migration seems to have been completed during the century. The year 1600 AD coincides with the migration of the Memon business community from Sindh and it is now understandable that the vacuum in the spheres of business and commerce was filled in by the immigration of the Hindus. The Kalhoras who ruled Sindh upto 1883 AD strived hard for the upliftment of the people. Their great achievement was the improvement of the irrigation system which had deteriorated since the times of the Sammas.
Conclusion:
In nut-shell, the main cause of the backwardness of the Sindhi Muslims was due to their being thrown out from the towns after 1520 AD, and thereby compelled to go to the villages in which they were brought under Munsabdars and Jagirdars who tried to subdue them. The Sindhis, however, continued the struggle for eliminating the tyranny by all the means at their disposal.
Re: Sindhi Hindus Vs Sindhi Muslims
^ who uprooted Muslim Sindhis from Urban areas in the 1500's? Muslims were not doing good versus Hindus even in Urban areas. I think the biggest factor is the decline of Muslim empire. In British times even Punjabi Muslims were not doing good.

sack of Thatta in 1500s by Arghoons. Finally, I found culprits.
That link in post 104 contain answers to many questions including origin of backwardness of Muslim Sindhis.
Re: Sindhi Hindus Vs Sindhi Muslims
^ I have read in Wikipedia that thatta was sacked by the Portuguese as the ruler asked for their support but then refused to pay them. There would be different factors for the decline if Muslims a big one being the Muslims stopped their kids from getting educated as they were wary of western influence. Maybe thy were justified considering they were feeling subjugated.

By 1843, when British conquered Sindh, Muslim majority was already living in rural areas. Due to weak Mughal rulers of Delhi after Aurangzeb, certain agreements were signed with East India company that were harmful for Sindh's economy. There are some reference to such agreements in Shah Latif's poetry. Will add later
