History
Earliest groups of Sindhis came to the island of Ceylon which is the now modern day country of Sri Lanka estimated two centuries ago in hopes for business and trade.[3] and they came via migration from Hyderabad city of Sindh.[4] and most were Hindus that came to Sri Lanka due to business.[5][6] However, after partition this trend increased as Sindhi Hindus left their home province.[7] and they are concentrated around Colombo.[8]
Families of Sindhi descent often remember their culture through cuisine.[9]
