Indian Saudis or Indo-Saudis (Hindi: भारतीय सऊदी, romanized: Bhāratīya Saūdī; Arabic: سعوديون الهنود, romanized: Saʿūdīyūn al-Hunūd) are Saudis of Indian origin.
They consist mainly of the descendants of Hajj pilgrims who hailed from the territories of Mughal, British, modern India[1] or Pakistan and settled in Hejaz before or after the establishment of Saudi Arabia,[2] immigrants and residents who were naturalized prior to the revocation of jus soli citizenship rights[3] and children born to Saudi fathers under the jus sanguinis principle.
[4] Most Indo-Saudis adhere to Islam and speak Arabic and Urdu.
