The Indus or Sindhu River that passes through the land, and the Arabian Sea (that defines its borders) also supported the seafaring traditions among the local people. Sindh has been shaped by the largely desert region, the natural resources it had available, and continuous foreign influence. The Culture of Sindh has its roots in the Indus Valley Civilization. Sindh province remained the part of British India until 1947 when it was made one of the provinces of Pakistan. In the recent history, Sindh was conquered by the British in 1843. According to the Historians, Indus Valley Civilization declined due to the natural disasters such as floods but the invasions of Indo- Arians caused the sudden collapse of it. Around 3000 B.C, Dravidian cultures urbanized and gave rise to the Indus Valley Civilization. In Sanskrit, the province was dubbed Sindhu meaning an ocean. The province of Sindh has been named after the famous River Indus. Sindh is one of the province in Pakistan located at the Southern border.
