 A SINDEE AND BELOCHEE. (311) HE Belochee is sitting, and the Sindee standing, and their appearance is very different. The roughly tied large turban, the unkempt hair, and the wild, though handsome, features, mark the Belochee. The cap, the full trousers, and the scarf thrown round the upper part of the body, which is naked, and the less marked features strongly show the Sindee, who was originally a Hindoo, till the Mahomedans gathered all, or most, in Sind, into their religious fold. The tribe of the Sindee is Zammach, that of the Belochee, Zowar ; but beyond the mention of them there is little to be gathered from the mere names or surnames. Similar figures are seen in every town and bazar of Sind; and form the ordinary lower class population of the country.
