Historically home to the Sindhi people, it is also locally known as the Mehran.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.actionaid.org/pakistan/where-we-work/sindh-province )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.rusconsulkarachi.mid.ru/doc/sindh_eng.htm )〕 It was formerly known as Sind until the 1956 Constitution of Pakistan. Spelling of its official name as Sind was discontinued in 2013 by an amendment passed in Sindh Assembly. The name "Sindh" is derived from the Sanskrit ''Sindhu'', a reference to the Indus River that passes almost through the middle of the state. Sindh is the third largest province by size. It is bordered by Balochistan province to the west, Punjab province to the north, the Indian states of Gujarat and Rajasthan to the east, and Arabian Sea to the south. The provincial capital and largest city of the province is Karachi, which is Pakistan's largest city and the country's only financial hub. The province has a diverse industrialized economy which emphasizes on manufacturing, education and agriculture development. It is a major exporter of fruit and vegetables to other parts of the country. Sindh is distinguished for its local culture and diverse geography, which includes the Kirthar Mountains in the west, desert landscape in the east, and Arabian Sea to the south. Its climate is noted for hot summers and mild winters. ==Origin of the name== The Sindh province and the people inhabiting the region are named after the river known as the Sindhu before independence and now called the Indus River. This river was known to the ancient Iranians in Avestan as ''Hindu'', in Sanskrit as ''Sindhu'', to Assyrians (as early as the 7th century BC) as ''Sinda'', to the Persians as ''Ab-e-sind'', to the Greeks as ''Indos'', to the Romans as ''Indus'', to the Pashtuns as ''Abasind'', to the Arabs as ''Al-Sind'', to the Chinese as ''Sintow'', and to the Javanese as ''Santri''. In Sanskrit, ''síndhu'' means "river, stream", and refers to the Indus River in particular. The Greeks who conquered Sindh in 325 BC under the command of Alexander the Great rendered it as ''Indós'', hence the modern ''Indus''. The ancient Iranians referred to everything east of the river Indus as ''hind'' from the word ''Sindh.'' (In Persian, "s" is sounded "h.") When the British arrived in the 17th century in India, then ruled by the Mughal Empire, they applied the Greek version of the name Sindh to all of South Asia, calling it ''India''. The starting alphabet of Sindh, i.e., 'seen' (س), equavalent to 's', is part of the name of Pakistan. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sindh」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
