It is more than half –a-century that the Hindus migrated on a large sale from Sind. Naturally, it would be of great interest to the new generation of Amils to be aware of the origins of the community's premier institution, The khudabadi Amil Panchayat of Bombay (KAP), the main objective of which is to keep the community alive, vibrant and to work towards its progress for all time to come. The origin of the Amil community, and therefore of its Panchayat, is not well established or authentic. It is generally believed that due to the hardships inflicted by Aurangzeb, many Hindus fled Punjab and came to Sind. Some Hindus came from Jaisalmer and Jodhpur in rajputana, due to the unrest there. Others came to Sind from Kutch, due to the famine. During Kalharo's rule, Hindus from many other places came and settled in sind. Among these hindus, many were followers of Sikh gurus. Some others were devi disciples, Daya pujaris and followers of other faiths. Thus, many different castes, cultures and faiths settled in Sind.
