Mithi (Sindhi: مِٺي تعلقو; Urdu: مِٹّھی تحصیل, Urdu pronunciation: [mɪʈ.ʈɦiː]) is a city and the administrative capital of Tharparkar District in the Sindh province of Pakistan. It became the district headquarter of Tharparkar District in 1990, after the area's separation from Mirpur Khas.[3] Mithi is one of the very few cities in Pakistan where Hindus form a majority. Close to 80% of Mithi's population belongs to the Hindu community. Both Hindus and Muslims reportedly live peacefully and there have been no reports of religious intolerance.[4]
