First it was called sindhu. remember that Sindhu was not the name of whole of India but just a Part of current Sindh and Baluchistan and Gujrat areas.
are you talking about Kutch and Kathiyawar ? yes we are sindhi but we always had and still have our Separate Identity. we are genetically and culturally Sindhi and Kathiawari at the same time. how ? Sindh have Influenced more on than Sorath (another name of Saurashtra) since time of IVC. as we Fall in Dry Bad of Indus valley and not in Gangatic Plains.
I have Read somewhere that Sindh, Balochistan, Sirakis, Marvadis, Kucchi and Kathiwari have very Ancient Roots and our Native Language (Saurashtra now extinct) was considered Dialect of Sindhi just like kuttchi. beside that most of people (70%+) of my Region are Migrants from Sindh as this region always had low population density Compared to other Regions of India. (Kathiwar - 140 sq km, Gujarat Proper - 600 sq.. km, UP - 1000 sq. km).
our Bharwad and Aahirs are Migrants of Sindh (they are very Fair skinned people despite belonging to Low Caste, just like jats), our some Brahmin Clans also have sindhi origin.
20% of our population is Rajput and majority of Rajputs are considered Jadeja, Chudasama and zala. funny thing is all 3 Migrated from sindh
. jadejas are related to Juneja Rajputs of sindh. Chudasama are also related to Samma Rajputs of Sindh. even i am a Rajput but my ancestors migrated from Punjab Region. Zala and Jethwas were kicked out of sindh after losing their kingdoms. while our another Martial caste Kathi (who gave name to this region) are Migrants from sindh as well they caste name is Kathi Darbar.
are you sindhi ? it's sad to see even Sindhi is dying just like our Sorathi died. you guys should try to keep it alive and save your Language from cultural invasion from other language. other wise you will become like us,
genetically sindhi who are speaking half Gujarati.
we have some people here who are trying to revive Saurastra Language and created Hindu Sindh by merging Saurashtra, Kutchh and Eastern Marvadi but sadly i dont think we wll ever able to use saurashtra/Sorathi as language of common people again. as well even lost our Statehood to Gujarat in 1960s.
at least we have our Lions
only species of lion outside Africa.
both Indians and Pakistanis should visit our land, i try to promote is as much as i can because government has sidelined us.
