The Sindh-Sipahi (Sindhi: سنڌي سپاهی ) (Urdu: سندھی سپاهی) are a community of Muslim Rajputs, found in the province of Sindh in Pakistan and state of Rajasthan in India.[1]
History and origin
The Sindh-Sipahi community converted to Islam at the time of the conquest of Sindh by the Arabs, around the 8th century. They form a large part of the Muslim Rajput population of Marwar and Mewar. According to their traditions, they were Chauhan and Bhati Rajputs.[2] According to Tod: Mahrana Ari Singh brought some Sipahi warriors from Sindh during his tenure, the Maharana was pleased by their services and awarded them.[1]
They are sub-divided into various tribes. They have a common origin with the Sindhi Rajput tribes of Pakistan.[2]
