Thathai Bhatias is a clan which was once settled in
Sindh, in what is now Pakistan, but dispersed around the time of the
Partition of India in 1947.
Pre-independence, in 1880s the Bhatias were considered amongst the top three Indian communities undertaking trading relations with Middle East countries like Bahrain, Qatar and Oman .
