Garra sindhi is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Garra endemic to the Wadi Andhur in Oman.
The red garra, also known as the doctor fish or nibble fish, is a species of cyprinid that is native to a wide range of freshwater habitats in subtropical parts of Western Asia. This small fish typically is up to about 14 cm (5.5 in) in total length, but locally individuals can reach as much as 24 cm (9.5 in).
Manghopir or Mangopir is a neighbourhood in the Malir district of Karachi, Pakistan, that previously was a part of Gadap Town until 2011.
Luwati is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by 5,000 to 10,000 people known as the Lawatiya in the country of Oman. In total it has been estimated there are 20,000 to 30,000 Lawatiya people. Despite the various names, the Lawatiya refer to the language as Khojki. It is considered an endangered language because a portion of the Lawatiya do not speak Luwati, and it is not continuously passed down to younger generations.
Garra barreimiae, the Oman garra, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It is found in the mountains of northern Oman and in the United Arab Emirates. Most populations inhabit wadis, streams, pools and springs, but one population which lives in a cave system, is known as Omani blind cave fish, and has lost its sight and pigmentation. The only other cave fish in the Arabian Peninsula is the Tawi Atair garra, but it has normal eyes.
Garra is a genus of fish in the family Cyprinidae. These fish are one example of the "log suckers", sucker-mouthed barbs and other cyprinids commonly kept in aquaria to keep down algae. The doctor fish of Anatolia and the Middle East belongs in this genus. The majority of the more than 140 species of garras are native to Asia, but about one-fifth of the species are from Africa.
Garra dunsirei, the Tawi Atair garra, is a species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. This cavefish lacks pigmentation and is found only in pools near Tawi Atair in Dhofar, Oman. Unlike the cave form of the related Oman garra, G. dunsirei has normal eyes.
Garra longipinnis is a cyprinid fish only found in Oman. It is unclear whether this is a different species from Garra barreimiae. No specimens have been found since 1968, and its taxonomic and conservation status could not be confirmed.
Typhlogarra widdowsoni or Garra widdowsoni, the Iraq blind barb or Haditha cave garra, is a species of cyprinid fish endemic to underground water systems near Haditha in Iraq. Although traditionally placed in its own genus Typhlogarra, this is not supported by genetic evidence, leading to its move to Garra. This cavefish is considered critically endangered because of water extraction, which has lowered the groundwater level. Once abundant, a survey in 2012 found that it now was very rare. Another species from the same place, Caecocypris basimi, may already be extinct. The only other known cavefish in Iraq is Eidinemacheilus proudlovei.
The Baloch diaspora refers to Baloch people, and their descendants, who have emigrated to places outside the Balochistan region of South-West Asia – a region stretching from southwestern Pakistan to southeastern Iran and southern Afghanistan. The Baloch diaspora is found throughout the Middle East, South Asia, Turkmenistan, East Africa, Europe, North America and in other parts of the world.
Labeoninae is a doubtfully distinct subfamily of ray-finned fishes in the family Cyprinidae of order Cypriniformes. They inhabit fresh water and the largest species richness is in the region around southern China, but there are also species elsewhere in Asia, and some members of Garra and Labeo are from Africa. They are a generally very apomorphic group, perhaps the most "advanced" of the Cyprinidae. A common name for these fishes is labeonins or labeoins.
The Cambodian logsucker, also known as stonelapping minnow or false Siamese algae eater, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Garra. It is found in Southeast Asia.
Garra dembeensis, the Dembea stone lapper, is a small African species of ray-finned fish in the family Cyprinidae. It occurs in fast-flowing sections of rivers and wave-washed shores of lakes in the Nile system and other freshwater systems in East and Central Africa, although its presence in the Congo River basin is uncertain.
Garra gotyla is a species of ray-finned fish in the cyprinid family from freshwater in South Asia.
Garra mullya is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Garra. It is found in streams and rivers throughout much of India and Nepal.
Garra notata, the Tenasserim garra, is a species of ray-finned fish in the genus Garra. This species is also known as Tenasserim garra, after the Tenasserim Hills.
Garra smarti is a species of cyprinid fish in the genus Garra from Oman. The specific name honours Emma Smart for her studies of the fish faunas of the wadis of the Arabian Peninsula. The original specific name smarti was amended to smartae to reflect the correct gender of the person being honoured.
The Sindhi diaspora consists of Sindhi people who have emigrated from the historical Sindh province of British India, as well as the modern Sindh province of Pakistan, to other countries and regions of the world, as well as their descendants.
The wildlife of Oman is the flora and fauna of this country in the southeastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula, with coasts on the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. The climate is hot and dry, apart from the southeastern coast, and the country offers a variety of habitats for wildlife including mountains, valleys, deserts, coastal plains and sea coasts.
Karoondi (Sindhi:ڪرونڊي) is a small town along Mehran Highway in District Khairpur, Sindh province of Pakistan. It is situated in taluka Faiz Ganj which is one of the eight talukas of the District. The town lies between two canals: Faiz Ganj canal passes by its western side whereas Veeho canal passes by the eastern. This city was established by Rajpar Hindu and Muslim community.

There are fertile farmlands around it owned by descendants of wadeero Budhal khan Rajper, wadeero Oman Khan Rajpar and Wadeero Usman khan Rajper and a number of villages in the outskirts. The main town is separated from the bypass bus stop by farm-fields and orchards. The town is relatively peaceful as the crime rate is very low. In late 60's Wadeero Allahdad Rajpar made a Phool Bagh in Karoondi. The settlement in the town is either on the lands of Wadeero Budhal Khan Rajpar or Wadeero Oman Khan Rajpar.
