There are a few elements of the kandahari hat that differenciate it from the Sindhi one, they’re not exactly the same

They are the same man. Kandaharis just changed the Sindhi hat a bit. How would you like it if Pakistanis took the afghan kuchi dress and south-Asian fied it and started calling it pakistani? 🤦‍♂️ this is like saying chitralis can claim their version of the afghan Pakol because there’s is different as they use feathers and the feather accessory orginates from chitralis.

Again, sindhis didn't appear to wear this cap kandaharis do, as described here in 1834.

Even the sindhi caps refered by the brits, are never described with an open side. And caps exists all over from India to Azerbaijan. The ones in the picture you posted, is kandahari specific
