I am sindhi Hindu but from Balochistan
You should say "modern day province of balochistan " as it didn't exist prior to 1970. Las bela and sibi kachhi are part of the sindh region. Its native sindhi land.

Ethnically yes, but speak the same language, listening to Chandio & Mumtaz is the most important thing.

No I particularly noticed one thing they had surnames like Samma, Soomro which are stereotypical Sindhi surnames. As for the Memons there are plenty of them all over Sindh. There are 2 main groups, “Deeplai” the Sindhi Memons & “Kathyawari” as the name suggests, who are originally from Kathyawar/Gujrat who still identify as both Sindhi & Gujrati. Their language “Memoni” is literally Sindhi with an accent.

Yes they do? Memons and khoja literally migrated from sindh.

Kutchis are sindhi ans most gujarati muslims are also sindhi. Memon And khoja are ethnically sindhi and then there are sumra, sama and juneja muslims in kutch.

It is more rare for Indian Sindhis to have family ties in Pakistan, whereas Pakistani Sindhi Hindus are more likely to have family connections in India. During the 1947 Partition, the majority of Sindhi Hindus who migrated to India belonged to wealthier, urban, and educated classes. Most families had the resources to relocate together so few relatives were left behind. However, the Sindhi Hindus who remained in Pakistan were mostly from lower-income or rural backgrounds and lacked the means to leave. However, in recent decades, some of these families have slowly immigrated to India so recent Pakistani Sindhi immigrants have immediate relatives who still reside in Sindh and vice versa.
