Der Sindh (Sindhi in arabischer Schrift سنڌ; Urdu سندھ) ist eine der vier pakistanischen Provinzen. Die traditionellen Hauptstädte Hyderabad und Thatta wurden 1936 von Karatschi abgelöst. Der Sindh ist mit 48 Millionen Einwohnern relativ stark bevölkert, wobei schon die Bevölkerung von Karatschi auf bis zu 14 Mio. Menschen geschätzt wird. Der Sindh ist in 23 Distrikte unterteilt. Eine Legende zur Entstehung der Bezeichnung Sindh ist indogermanischen Ursprungs; in ihr heißt es: Der Indus entspringt dem Maul des Löwen – Sinh-ka-bab. In Sanskrit wird die Gegend Sindhu („Ozean“) genannt. Die Assyrer nannten die Region im 17. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Sinda, die Perser Abisind.
