Who are Sindhis ? What is their ancestry, history, culture, language, music, literature, philosophy and beliefs ? Where is Sindhi community as a whole now ? Is Sindhi youth equipped well to retain their identity ? Will "SINDHYAT" the proud heritage of several thousand years survive the next millennium ?
An attempt is made here to compile and place before you the valuable information,
which hopefully will help in answering some of these questions at the time of
the Fifth International Sindhi Sammelan-1998 
which
is being held at the world famous Silicon Valley in San Francisco, California,
USA. It is hoped that this modest effort, as a small initial step, in the present
day technologically driven times will help to kindle the warmth in the young
hearts of Sindhis of the World in creating a global community of a Border
less Sindhi Nation of tomorrow.
What name could be more appropriate for this presentation than "KALH AJYU AIN SUBHANH" "Sindhis-Yesterday Today and Tomorrow".
SINDHIS
Sindhis
are the descendants of the ancient civilization that originated along the Sindhu
River Valley. Sindhu River emerges from Himalayas. Ravi and Beas Rivers merging
with it in Punjab, the North Western Province of India, and flowing through
Sindh, now in Pakistan; Sindhu finally reaches the Arabian Sea at North of Rann
of Kutch. This is the Great Sindhu that gave Sindh and Hind their
names. Sindhu is the oldest name in the Indian history and geography. Vedas
the most ancient scriptures invoke Sindhu over thirty times while reference
to Ganga is made only twice.
