Rajnath Singh said on Sindh: Defense Minister Rajnath Singh has given an important warning without naming Pakistan. He has given an important statement regarding the present Sindh province of Pakistan. Rajnath Singh said that today Sindh is not included in the political boundaries of India, but from civilizational and cultural point of view Sindh has always been an integral part of India. Rajnath Singh further said that no one knows when the land border will change and the possibility of Sindh rejoining India in the future cannot be completely ruled out.
The Defense Minister said this while addressing the Sindhi Conference organized in Delhi on Sunday. Referring to Lal Krishna Advani, he said that Advani has written in one of his books that Sindhi Hindus, especially people of his generation, still do not consider Sindh as separate from India.
It is noteworthy that after the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, Sindh province became a part of Pakistan. Presently it is the third largest province of Pakistan, whose capital is Karachi. The main languages spoken in this region are Urdu, Sindhi and English.
Culturally, Indus River has always been a part of India: Rajnath Singh
Rajnath Singh further said that not only Sindh, but Hindus all over India consider the Indus river sacred. It is said in Advani ji’s sentence that many Muslims of Sindh also believed that the water of Indus River is no less sacred than the water of Zamzam of Mecca.
Rajnath Singh further said that even though Sindh is not a part of the Indian territory today, culturally it will always be a part of India. As far as land is concerned, the boundaries can change at any time. Who knows, tomorrow Sindh may come back to India. Our Sindh people, who consider the Indus River sacred, will always be our own.
How did Sindh separate from India?
In the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947, the thousands of years old Thar Desert, spread over an area of approximately 2,00,000 square kilometers, was divided along the partition line. It was not just a field of sand, it also deeply influenced the social, economic and cultural fabric of Sindh. The mass migration caused by partition and violence gradually transformed Sindh’s prosperity into instability and poverty. The middle class Hindu community of Sindh left their homes and came to India.
On the other hand, the Muslims who came from India were not able to integrate into the local Muslim society of Sindh. Local Sindhi Muslims started calling them Muhajirs. Over time, tensions between the two groups grew and violence broke out, which remained a major hindrance to the development and social harmony of the region for nearly two decades.
