Sodha Rajputs in Sindh, Pakistan, preserve their Hindu royal legacy
In Pakistan's Sindh province, the Sodha Rajputs, a Hindu royal family, maintain their cultural heritage. Kunwar Karni Singh Sodha, the 27th Rana of Umerkot, continues the family's legacy. His family has a history of political engagement. Rana Karni Singh's father, Rana Hamir Singh, was a prominent politician. The current Rana's connection to India is strong through his mother and sisters. He also married into an Indian royal family in 2015. The Sodha Rajputs' lineage traces back to the Parmara dynasty. Their ancestors conquered the Umerkot region. Their fort, built in the 11th century, stands as a testament to their historical presence.
