Sindhi Jats

The Sindhi Jats (Sindhi: سنڌي جت/جاٽ) are an indigenous community of Sindh. They are mostly Muslims.

Originally from the lower Indus Valley, many Sindhi Jats would migrate to lower Iraq between the 5th and 11th centuries, where they formed the Zuṭṭ (Arabic: الزُّطِّ) community. Another migration northwards into Punjab would take place between the 11th and 16th centuries, where many Sindhi Jats settled in newly cultivatable land and gradually took up farming.
