The Sindhis were, as far as one can tell, descendants of the Hindu Rajputs who had been living in the country at the time of the Muslim conquest. The main tribes were Sammos, Sumros, Unars, Abros, Dahars, Mahars, Jokhios, Numrios, Jats and Mohanos. Most had long been settled as agriculturists on the alluvial plain.
