The Amils (Sindhi: اميل) are a caste of Sindhis. The word "Amil" has its origin in the Persian word "amal" (as "administer").[1] Amils used to work in Administration in Government services.
Amongst Sindhi Hindus, socially this clan ranks first in the hierarchical ranking among followed by Bhaiband.[2] The Amils held the highest administrative offices under Muslim rulers, beginning in the mid-eighteenth century. They speak Sindhi.[3] In 1938, Amils were primarily bankers, clerks, and minor officials .[4] Amils are by no means the wealthiest in the Sindhi community but are highly educated professionals, often to this day.
