Thirteen years! With this issue, that’s how long ‘The Sindhian’ has been around and exploring the world of Sindhis, showcasing their astuteness for business, their adaptability to be able to integrate anywhere and within any country, and to live in harmony everywhere. And as we go along, I have been noticing that we are intricately woven into the international fabric of the world. From Australia to Zanzibar, you will fi nd Sindhis comfortably settled there, speaking the local language, eating their food, and imbibing their lifestyles along with their own.   And yet, for everything that the Sindhis are, and for everything that they do, I fi nd that they also have an underlying sense of a lack of belonging… in a world that is evidently divided by region, language, and food. The Sindhis have no place to call their own, and still, they have made the world their home.   As yet another Diwali approaches – it’s time for shopping, exchanging gifts, playing teen-patti, family get-togethers phatakas and poojas, and for some - just taking vacations by heading out of the city. Lights, lanterns, and the age old diyas bring sparkle to homes, offi ces, and stores.   This issue brings to light a wide spectrum of personalities, from Sindhis in their twenties, to a gentleman who celebrated his 100th birthday recently. The cover story belongs to successful businessman Mithu Sadarangani, someone who built his company - Sahil International, from scratch! I hope you will enjoy their stories as much as we did.   Wishing all our readers a very Happy Diwali and a Prosperous New Year!
