Sindh (Sind) ( / सिंध / ) is one of the provinces of Pakistan. It was first settled about 2 million years ago by the Riwat people, and the region's fertility around the Indus River led to the development of the Indus Valley Civilization, and the advanced cities of Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro between 3300-1300 BCE. Sindh has been exploited by invaders from old time among Arghuns, Turks and the exploits of the Beg-lar family, who were Turks of Turmuz who migrated to Samarkand and then to Sindh.
