Why are they still perceive non-integrated?
Did they adopt or learn anything from each other?

Re: Urdu and Sindhi Culture
Superiority complex (both sides). I hate hate those Sindhis who just don't speak Urdu, when they can especially when there is a sitting containing both communities. Went to KLF 2017 this year, where a panelist of Sindhi writers was discussing Sindhi literature. As the gathering was mixed, they were conducting it in Urdu. Only one poet said that I dream in Sindhi so I will speak in Sindhi. holy crap! I hate such people. The guy could speak Urdu, but due to some complex, he chose to speak in Sindhi.
Same goes for Urdu speaking community who still think that efforts to make them learn Sindhi is biggest zulm on them. For them, studying Sindhi in middle classes take their life away from them. If we agree to their logic, then they should then acknowledge that first zulm was done on Sindhis and Bengalis in 1947, when Urdu was imposed on them. Bengalis even couldn't speak or understand Urdu. Recently, a Bengali writer told Kishwar Nahid that if in 1947 there were channels like Door Darshan showing so called Hindi movies (which are predominantly Urdu), they might not express such resentment. In Sindh, various Sindhi medium schools were closed. It was ok if majority Sindhi speaking Hindus migrated, but then there was an order that university students will be examined through medium of Urdu. This raised rage among Sindhi students who were not well versed with Urdu. Bhutto did tried to introduce Sindhi for non-Sindhis, but its controversial and abhorred since day1. At least Urdu speaking people have taught their children that learning a new language which can be used to interact with people is no harm. This was followed in people living in other areas like Hyderabad, Sukkur, etc where migrated people learned Sindhi and start interacting with people in their own language. But in Karachi, I don't see such representative examples. With the passage of time and advent of media, Sindhis learned to speak Urdu, but we can't say this for Urdu speaking of Karachi, though they are taught this in their schools.
But all this is the history and people need to throw away their prejudices and complexes to mingle with each other. Such things take time, but one can hope that people will understand their actual problems and will shun those who play politics in the name of race and language.
Re: Urdu and Sindhi Culture
When I entered my class 7, Persian was replaced by Sindhi! I can read and understand Sindhi newspapers up to 70% level. (sattar sakhro) as I studied it till class 9.
Re: Urdu and Sindhi Culture
Oh poor memory! In fact Persian was replaced by Arabic. Sindhi was there from Class 6 to 9.
