The Sindhi diaspora (Sindhi: ٻاهري ملڪي سنڌي) consists of Sindhi people who have emigrated from the historical Sindh province of British India,[1] as well as the modern Sindh province of Pakistan,[2] to other countries and regions of the world, as well as their descendants.

Apart from the Indian subcontinent, there is a large and well-established community of Sindhis throughout different continents of the world including Malaysia, Oman, Singapore, UAE, USA and UK[3] where they have established themselves as a trade diaspora.[4][5]
