Earliest groups of Sindhis came to the island of Ceylon which is the now modern day country of Sri Lanka estimated two centuries ago in hopes for business and trade. [3] and they came via migration from Hyderabad city of Sindh. [4] and most were Hindus that came to Sri Lanka due to business. [5] [6] However, after partition this trend increased as Sindhi Hindus left their home province. [7] and they are concentrated around Colombo. [8]
Families of Sindhi descent often remember their culture through cuisine. [9]
