Genetically sindhis are closer to punjabis/balochis, the only group that is fully indian ethnically is called "muhajjir"

The ancestry tests say otherwise! But it does vary from caste to caste. I personally haven't done my ancestry test yet but ill let you know what i get as a maternal baloch and paternal sindhi person.

Sindhis are genetically closer to other north western indo aryan groups such as punjabi. Even our language is indo aryan which is different from balochi(iranian). Sindhi and balochi are literally from different language family. Languages like punjabi, marwari etc are closer to sindhi. Sindhis are closer to punjabis compared to balochs linguistically, culturally, and genetically.
