Sathio (Sindhi: سٺيو, Urdu: سٹھیو, Hindi: सठयो) 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]

Origins[edit]

Many researchers believe that Sathio is a sub-clan within the Samma lineage, a group often identified as belonging to the broader Rajput community.[3]

Education[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.

There is a network of the Sindh Government's middle, elementary and primary schools in Sathia villages, including:

  • Union council Allah Yar Turk: Bhale Dino Sathio (primary and elementary), Ghulam Hussain Sathio, Gul Muhammad Sathio, Haji Peeroo Sathio, Haji Sajan Sathio, Hassan Sathio and Moledino Sathio
  • Union council Ghulam Shah Baghrani at Moya: Abdullah Sathio
  • Union council Saeed Matto: Allah Dino Sathio, Allah Jurio Sathio, Chaudaro, Dars Muhalla at Jumoon Sathio, Gul Muhammad Sathio, Gul Hassan Sathio, Khalifo Arab Sathio, Khuda Bux Sathio, Mithan Sathio, Mohammad Siddique Sathio, Mohsin Farm at Muhammad Hashim Sathio, Muhammad Juman Sathio, Muhammad Mandani Sathio, Muhammad Sathio, Muhammad Umar Sathio, Mureed Sathio, Sadiq Sathio, Siddique Sathio, Sawan Sathio, Syed Matto Shah (primary and middle) and Talib Sathio[4]

The Sindh Government has established a middle school in the village Syed Matto Shah.

A school under the SEF Middle / High School Program (SMHSP) by the Sindh Education Foundation, Government of Sindh, has been established in Nao Mail.[5]

The Citizens Foundation has established a primary education campus in the village Haji Urs Sathio.[6]

The nearby district town of Tando Muhammad Khan is a hub of public and private educational institutions, including the University of Modern Sciences (the Indus Medical College and Hospital, and nursing, pharmacy, and physical therapy colleges)[7]; government degree colleges for boys and girls; a Shaheed Zulfikar Ali Bhutto Institute of Science and Technology (SZABIST) campus; Bahria Foundation College, and several high, middle and primary schools.

Health[edit]

The Government of Sindh's basic health units in union councils not only provide essential medical services but also operate as the Expanded Program on Immunization (EPI) centres.[8]

Notable Sathias[edit]

Notable people in the community include Haji Ali Muhammad Sathio (late) and Qazi Allah Bachayo Sathio (late), chairmen, union council Saeed Matto; Haji Urs Sathio (late), a farmer and businessman; Babu Allah Rakhio Sathio, a farmer and politician; Professor Muhammad Moosa Sathio, an educator; [9] Umaid Ali Sathio (late), an author of several books in Sindhi; [10] Nabi Bux Sathio, Vice President, Sindh Chamber of Agriculture;[11] and R.B.
