History

Sihi is about 400 years old village. Before the Partition in 1947, Sihi was controlled by the Pathans who migrated from Afghanistan about 400 years ago. There were also some Hindus living there but they didn't have the right to sell any property in the village. After partition all the Muslims were compelled to leave the village and eventually almost all the living Muslims migrated to Pakistan and are mainly living in Karachi.
