Soomro
Soomro is a tribe based in Sindh, parts of Punjab bordering Sindh, and in Balochistan province. The Soomro tribe established the Soomra dynasty, which re-established native Sindhi rule over since in 1025 CE. They ruled for 350 years, and their dynasty deeply impacted Sindhi culture for centuries.
Many members of the Soomro caste were one of the first in Sindh to convert to Islam from Hinduism but initially continued to maintain several Hindu customs and traditions.
Their origins are believed to be indigenous Sindhis, of Rajput origin, or of mixed Arab origin as they intermarried with Arabs under Umayyad rule. Their lineage is sometimes said to be of the Parmar subcaste of Rajputs, although there is no definite evidence to corroborate this.
