This book tells the story of the beginning of Sindhi Hindus in Gujaraat. Starting from 1843 from the Colonial Sindhi period, it explains how the culture and the beliefs are changing throughout the years. The book contains information for over three generations and it takes one to the present and the past Gujarat where one will eventually realise the Sindhis are anxious to hold on to different identities other than their own Sindhiness. With a wide scope of investigations, this book will be useful to those who are interested in India’s past and present.
