Sindh May Return To India Again : Defence Minister

  • Recalling BJP patriarch L K Advani’s words on Sindh’s civilisational connect with India despite the Partition, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said “borders can change” and “tomorrow Sindh may return to India”.
  • In his address at an event hosted by the Sindhi community here, he said that “Advani ji wrote in one of his books that Sindhi Hindus, especially those of his generation, still haven’t accepted the matter of separation of Sindh from India”.
  • Pakistan was created as a result of the 1947 Partition of then-undivided India, and the Sindh region near the river Indus has been part of Pakistan since then.
  • “Not just in Sindh, but throughout India, Hindus considered the Indus River (Sindhu in Hindi) sacred. Many Muslims in Sindh also believed that the water of the Indus was no less sacred than the Aab-e-Zamzam (holiest of the waters) of Mecca.
  • The word Sindh is associated with the cultural identity of India and the Sindhi community, he said. Referring to the national anthem, Singh asserted that “even today people sing with pride, ‘…Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, Maratha’, and they will continue to sing, and forever sing it, and sing it till we exist”.
