It all goes back to the good old pre-partition days of Unified India.. Guru Nanaks Place of Birth is Sheikhupura almost 30 miles away from Lahore in Punjab Province. Which is also now called Nankana Saheb. There is another place in Lahore called Panja Saheb, which means the imprint of a hand, which can be clearly seen on a Big boulder, on the edge of cliff, verge of falling down, it is believed that Guru Nanak stopped the boulder from falling down the cliff and saving a huge population at the foot hill. Such miracles made Sindhis follow Guru Nanak from the days when Khalsa Panth was not even born, though Sikhism is known as a religion now, its actually an ideology. Sikhism consists of Sikhs who were originally Hindus and for all you know a few muslims as well. Sindhis follow the ideology and practise that ideology. There is /was a practise in many of the Sindhi families I know that sindhi women would desire to bear healthy children(oops Sons) by resolving that the eldest son would be made to live as a Sikh ( will be given in the service of Gurus)
There is lot more that goes hand in hand as far as Sindhis and Sikhs are concerned but Arun, I Hope this atleast has given you some idea and has set your line of thought.
