Lohana
The Lohana are a Hindu trading and merchant community originating in Sindh, now living mainly in Gujarat, Kutch and Sindh and in a wide diaspora in East Africa and Britain. Some groups of Lohana origin, such as the Khojas and Memons, converted to Islam. Arabic and Persian sources on the Arab conquest of Sindh already mention them as a powerful group.
