For our third and final visit, we are going to travel farther east to one of the largest urban centers of early civilization, a city that in many respects remains a mystery, Mohenjo-daro.

Its name traditionally means Mound of the Dead in Sindhi.

Dino HiraGUEST
Considering, you know, my parents were always strict on like what you need to study or what do you want to be after you graduate.
Dino HiraGUEST
And I think growing up in a Sindhi or Asian household, you're normally asked, you know, do you want to be a doctor, engineer or lawyer, anything else? And it seems alien, right? So in my case, yeah, my teenage years, especially when I was 16, I was preparing for university to go on and study engineering.
Dino HiraGUEST
I didn't know what type of engineering I was going to do, but I just wanted to get into the engineering field, which happened to be mining engineering.
Dino HiraGUEST
in that uh case as well so so yeah at 16 i i left uh hong kong and went to university uh on my own to australia um in perth anyway so yeah why did you choose perth specifically that's a really good question because my intention was to go to a place like hawaii and then go study over there or uh you know more happening sort of uh environment but my dad he's uh he's very uh conscious of where he was going to spend his money.

And even the ones that weren't thinking that Afghans are the problem, They thought like these nationalities, like, you know, provincial nationalities, like the Punjabis are fucking over the Sindhis kind of thing.
AliHOST
And so it was, so you, you, you see like, even where there isn't like a huge migration influx, they're still scapegoating in the same way.
AliHOST
And it's, Because they're going through the same technological changes
Kamal HochendaniGUEST
I was always passionate about that.
Kamal HochendaniGUEST
As a young Indian kid, I grew up in an environment where a lot of family members were in the luxury duty free business that the Sindhi community where I come from, they spread around different British colonies over the years.
Kamal HochendaniGUEST
And a lot of them would look, you know, oh, I have a Cartier boutique or I'd have this boutique.
Kamal HochendaniGUEST
And it was like a status symbol to be able to go to Basel, Switzerland, to Geneva, to the show.

Nina DixonHOST
Where does your family origin really start?
Kamal HochendaniGUEST
My family's 100% Indian.
Kamal HochendaniGUEST
They were from a sect called the Sindhis, and when India and Pakistan split, the Sindhis went as entrepreneurs to different countries that were British.
Kamal HochendaniGUEST
territories and my mom and dad being the youngest of the crew Belize was British Honduras at the time and it was the last place that was left to be conquered so they went there and but at the age of nine my parents were working and when they were in India or what's now modern-day Pakistan they were very wealthy in the liquor distribution business and had lost a lot of their wealth in the, you know, having to pick up and run.
