 Hindu Sindhis were expected to stay in Sindh following the partition, as there were good relations between Hindu and Muslim Sindhis.At the time of partition there were 1,400,000 Hindu Sindhis, though most were concentrated in cities such as Hyderabad, Karachi, Shikarpur, and Sukkur.However, because of insecurity in Pakistan, and most of all, a sudden influx of Muslim refugees who escaped from communal riots in Bombay State, United Provinces, Bihar, Central Provinces, Hyderabad State, Rajputana and other parts of India, many Sindhi Hindus decided to leave Pakistan.
