The Saits are a community that branched off from the Kutchi Memons who are essentially Kutchi speaking, Sunni Muslims, who originally hail from Kutch in Gujarat, a state of India. Many members of Sait community have migrated to Pakistan after independence have settled in Karachi, Sindh.
Historically, Kutch was a princely state and this kingdom included Bhuj, Anjar, Lakhpath, Mandvi, etc. The Kutchi Memons are now spread all over the globe with concentrated population in Mumbai, Pune, Mysore, Bangalore, Chennai, Kochi and Ooty.
Kutchi Memons have this unique surname SAIT (for men) and BAI (for women).
Kutchi Memons have mostly been in business but with the new generation this trend is changing.The community has a very modern outlook and most individuals are educated. The community is very peculiar about is unique identity and in most pockets marriage outside the community is still looked upon unkindly. The written Language is changing from Urdu to English but regional languages are used for local communications.
The size of the population cannot be determined due to its lack of concentration but estimations would put their number close to 0.4 million people. The community follows all the basic Sunni Islamic tradition but with somewhat different practices.
