Sindhis are an Indo-Aryan ethnolinguistic group who speak the Sindhi language and originate from Sindh, a region of present-day Pakistan. The historical homeland of Sindhis is bordered by southeastern Balochistan; the Bahawalpur region of Punjab; the Marwar region of Rajasthan; and the Kutch region of Gujarat. Despite being geographically separated, Sindhis still maintain strong ties to each other and share similar cultural values and practices. Sindhis have largely been isolated throughout their history; due to which Sindhi culture has preserved its uniqueness.

Vikings were a seafaring people originally from Scandinavia (present-day Denmark, Norway, and Sweden), who from the late 8th to the late 11th centuries raided, pirated, traded, and settled throughout parts of Europe. They voyaged as far as the Mediterranean, North Africa, the Middle East, Greenland, and Vinland (present-day Newfoundland in Canada, North America). In their countries of origin, and in some of the countries they raided and settled, this period of activity is popularly known as the Viking Age, and the term "Viking" also commonly includes the inhabitants of the Scandinavian homelands as a whole during the late 8th to the mid-11th centuries. The Vikings had a profound impact on t…

Sindhis are an Indo-Aryan ethnolinguistic group who speak the Sindhi language and are native to the Sindh province of Pakistan. Besides Sindh the historical homeland of Sindhis are regions like Kacchi Plain, the Lasbela and Makran regions in Balochistan, the Bahawalpur region of Punjab, the Kutch region of Gujarat, and Jaisalmer and Barmer regions of Rajasthan, India. There are also many Sindhi Hindus and Sindhi Sikhs who migrated to India after partition in 1947. Most Sindhi tribes, clans and surnames are a modified form of a patronymic and typically end with the suffix - ani, -ja/-jo, or -potra/-pota, which is used to denote descent from a common male ancestor. One explanation states that…

Layers in the sand: The genetic imprint of migration, culture, and Indus craft in the Thar Desert.. The Thar Desert of northwestern India, despite its harsh ecology, has sustained settlement of ancient crafts and pastoral communities. Their persistence provides a unique opportunity to study how migration, ecology, and culture have shaped genetic diversity. We analyzed genome-wide SNP data from 176 individuals across eight occupational communities along with global Indian populations and diverse ancient genomes. Population history, ancestral migration, population structure, demography, admixture, and founder effects were elucidated using diverse population genetic statistical methods. The Th…

Blending borders: reconstructing the genetic history of the Sindhi population.. Sindhis are an Indo-Aryan ethnolinguistic community primarily associated with the Sindh region of present-day Pakistan. The Sindhi community is celebrated for its vibrant culture, unique dialect, and notable accomplishments in commerce and the arts, reflecting a rich historical legacy. Following the partition of India in 1947, many Sindhis migrated from the Sindh region to India and around the world, establishing diaspora communities. Previous genetic studies on Sindhis have focused on those residing in Pakistan, with a notable lack of genome-wide research specifically addressing Indian Sindhis. In this study, w…
