Saurashtra

Saurashtra which was once part of Sindh
Indus Valley Civilization, which began from Harappa, extending from Mehrgarh to Hanglaaj, and another part beginning from Bikaner, extending to Purbandar and the Dwarka islands, was once a part of Sindh. However, Sindh has now shrunk, and the very foundation of the Sindhi ethnicity has been shaken.
In the Gita, Lord Krishna, referred Sindh to as Saurashtra, which has now been merged into the Indian state of Gujarat.
Although Kuchhi and Kathiawari are two dialects of the Sindhi language, they are now written in the Gujarati script, and the Sindhi people of Kuchh and Kathiawar now consider themselves as Guajarati’s.
The descendants of the Sindhi Kings, such as the descendants of Samma and Rai Sahasi, now read and write in Gujarati script. The descendants of the ruler Jam Abrro, who sacrificed his throne, his life, and even his sons to save one hundred and fifty women during the martyrdom of Dodo Somro of Sindh, and whose descendants founded Jamnagar, now claim that they are not Sindhis. The people of Jamnagar now call themselves Gujarati.
Now, even the descendants of Jam Jadam Jakhro and Jam Laalkho Phlanni do not consider themselves Sindhi.
The descendants Rai Ddiyach, no longer consider themselves Sindhis. The Sindhi Sama and Soomra of Surat, Khumbhaat, and Porbandar have abandoned their Sindhi identity. Now, even the Sindhi belt of Gujarat, Saurashtra, with Nohirra, Rajjarrs and Samejas, reads and writes in Gujarati.
