Hyderabad, Sindh

Hyderabad was a major Sindhi Hindu city before 1948 when many emigrated to India and elsewhere after the liberation of Pakistan in 1947.

 Hindu pilgrims played a major role in the city's economy, making up the majority of the Hyderabad population. The space left by most of the city's Hindus was quickly closed by Urdu-speaking Muslim refugees from India, known as the Muhajirs. 

After the arrival of the Muhajirs, Hyderabad became the largest Urdu-speaking city, with the Muhajirs comprising 66% of the city's population.

 The arrival of the Pashtuns and Punjabis from northern Pakistan further exacerbated racial segregation in the next few decades,  and by 2017, the percentage of the Urdu-speaking population had dropped to 53%.

 Many Punjabi and Pashtun are different and live separately near the railway station and its location. The city, therefore, has an international spirit and multicultural communities.

 The city is now mixed with Cindy, an Urdu-speaking Urdu, Brahuis, Punjabi, Pashtun, Memon, and Baloch. Hyderabad is well-known in Sindh and Pakistan in general for its tolerance of minority religions and ethnic groups. 

The spread of Islamist warfare and extremism has been blocked in large parts of Sindh by the powerful community, as well as Sindh's ongoing politics. 

The city has a long relationship with Sufism. In the 18th century Syeds of Multan migrated and settled in the city's Tando Jahania, making it a sacred place for Muslims. 

The Seds came from Uch Sharif, passing through Jahanian, 42 miles from Multan). Most of them were descendants of Jahaniyan Jahangasht - a prominent Sufi saint in Sindh and southern Punjab.

 Hyderabad is close to some of the most important sites of Sufi Sindh, located 49 km 30 mi from the Muslim-Hindu Shrine at Odero Lal, 59.3 km 36.8 mi from Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai Shrine, 146 km 91 mi from the Shrine of Lal Shahbaz Qalandar. 

Hindus once formed the majority in Hyderabad before 1948, and today they are part of the largest group in Hyderabad - accounting for 5 percent of the city's population. 

The Amil Hindus family of Hyderabad of Lohana caste had been hired as Talpur Mirs for their knowledge of Persian language and administrative skills - this role continued under the English as the Amil were mobilized under colonial rule.

 The Amil built the Amil Colony, which is home to some of the most beautiful colonial buildings in Hyderabad. The Thailand family, also of the Lohana sect, controlled the city's trade. 

Although Christians make up 1% of the total population, Hyderabad is the seat of the Diocese of the Church of Pakistan and has five churches and a large church house. ft, Hyderabad is located on the east bank of the Indus River and is located 150 km 93 mi from Karachi, the provincial capital.
