These pathans are known to have resided in Sindh since the days of Ahmad Shah Durrani. Sindhi Pathans have merged their culture, language into Sindhi language and culture. They transmigrated in Sindh and now have become part of the rich Sindhi culture, as they speak Sindhi and have intermarried into Sindhis.
