Sindh
is one of the four provinces of Pakistan and historically
is home to the Sindhis. Different cultural and ethnic
groups also reside in Sindh including Urdu-speaking
Muslim refugees who migrated to Pakistan from India
upon independence as well as the people migrated from
other provinces after independence. The Neighbouring
regions of Sindh are Balochistan to the west and north,
Punjab to the north, the border with India to the
east, and the Arabian Sea to the south. The main languages
are Sindhi and Siraiki. In Sanskrit, the province
was dubbed Sindhu meaning "Ocean". The Assyrians
(as early as the seventh century BCE) knew the region
as Sinda, the Persians as Abisind, the Greeks as Sinthus,
the Romans as Sindus, the Chinese as Sintow, while
the Arabs dubbed it Sind.
