Sathio (Sindhi: سٺيو, Urdu: سٹھیو) is a Sindhi Sammat tribe mainly in district Tando Muhammad Khan, Sindh. There are some families in Karachi, Hyderabad, and Thatta in Pakistan, as well as in India and the UK.[1][2][3]

Education and careers[edit]

In the past, most Sathias were primarily engaged in agriculture, with education often not a priority. However, societal shifts in recent decades have led to a notable transformation, with individuals from the community now pursuing diverse career paths, resulting in more doctors, engineers, civil servants, educators, development specialists, bankers, IT professionals, journalists, communicators, and entrepreneurs.

Currently, a burgeoning educational landscape exists within and surrounding the Sathia areas, comprising both public and private schools and colleges.[4]

Notable Sathias[edit]

Notable people in the community include Babu Allah Rakhio Sathio, a politician;[5] Nabi Bux Sathio, Vice President, Sindh Chamber of Agriculture;[6] Umaid Ali Sathio, an author of several books in Sindhi;[7] and R.B. Sarang, an author and communicator.[8][9]
