Some of the Kutchi people of India converted from Hinduism to Islam in the 15th century A.D., largely through the efforts of Saiyid Abdullah.[3] The Kutchi Memons were encouraged to spread throughout India, though many remained in Kutch.[3]
Kutchis, being a part of the Indian diaspora, have maintained their traditions abroad; in 1928, Kutchi Hindus in Nairobi held a Swaminarayan procession in which 1200 people attended.[4]
The Kutchis have been living in southern part Sindh, today called Kutch, for decades.[2]
