Sindhis in Chennai

Sindhis have made Chennai in Tamil Nadu as the home and are known for the contribution to the industry, and are into textile business as well.

There are quite a number of Sindhi community centres in Chennai. Ever since 1950s, the Sindhi Hindu Mandal has been a forum for conducting weekly satsangs and bhagwats; there is a wedding hall as well there.

Religious discourses and rituals are performed at the Kilpauk Darbar.

Many within the community feel that the Sindhi language is living on borrowed time. For the last 28 years, Sindhis learn the Sindhi language from the Sadhu Vaswani Centre - founded by Poonam Chulani, Indira Hemdev, Sunitha Raheja and Kamal B Keswani -- on Halls Road.

Sindhis are celebrating Cheti Chand - New Year, and Navratri.
