The time has come for Pakistan’s Sindh province to be reunited with India

There used to be a strong, prosperous and attractive province in the west of unbroken India, whose name was Sindh. Strong from the point of view that whenever Muslim invaders from Arab countries used to attack India, Sindh province used to face Arab invaders with courage and after defeating them forced them to return back to Arabia. At that time Sindh province in the west used to be the gateway to India. In ancient times, the Sindh province of unbroken India had attained the status of a very developed state. Products from Sindh province were exported to other countries by land and sea routes. Sindh province has been known as a successful and important trading center since ancient times. The commercial importance of Sindh province is not hidden from anyone in history.

Veer Savarkar ji had said in one of his speeches that in a period of time Sindh was ruled by Vatsal Raja Dahir Sen, a devotee of Vedic religion, the subject of Brahmin Rajkul, that is, the society of Sindh at that time was merchant as well as Vedic religious. The holy land of Sindh has been the center of Vedic culture and ancient civilization and many sages, sages and sages have taken birth on the holy land of Sindh. The Sindhi community is also believed to be the descendants of Lord Rama. The King Jayadrath who is mentioned in the Mahabharata period belonged to the Sindhi community only.

The first and major Arab invasion of India took place in 711 AD under the leadership of Muhammad bin Qasim. Muhammad bin Qasim was an Arab warlord of the Caliphate in the early days of Islam and invaded the western region of the Indian subcontinent. He wanted to dominate the Sindh province and the areas of Punjab located on the banks of the Indus river. At that time this important Sindh province of India was ruled by the brave, mighty ruler, Raja Dahir Sen. Raja Dahir Sen was the last Hindu king of the Sindhi Brahmin Sen dynasty of Sindh province. You were born in Sindh province in 663 AD. Raja Dahir Sen loved his Sanatan Hindu religion culture and India very much. You are considered to be the last Hindu ruler of Sindh and it was you who extended the boundaries of the state of Sindh to Makran in the west, to the Arabian Sea and Gujarat in the south, to Malwa and Rajputana in the east and from Multan to southern Punjab in the north. Shri Dahirsen ji, who not only gave his life while fighting in the battlefield, but after his martyrdom, his wife, sister and both daughters also sacrificed their lives and started a new tradition in India. Since the entire family was martyred while protecting Mother India, even after centuries of his death, people still sing the heroic saga of his bravery and might.

Param Pujya Dr. Hedgewar ji was also very active along with other leaders to free undivided India from the slavery of the British. In this regard, Dr. Hedgewar had suggested a proposal to be passed before the resolution committee of the convention to be held in Nagpur in the year 1920 under the leadership of Lokmanya Tilak that the aim of the Congress was to make India completely independent and to establish an Indian republic. To establish and free the world from the clutches of capitalism. By making India completely independent and establishing the Republic of India, the meaning here is to make a united India. That is, efforts have been made to make a united India even before India’s political independence. But, at the time of the political partition of India in the year 1947, Sindh province, the western fort of unbroken India, was unfortunately separated from us. Hindu Sindhis were forced to leave their settled homes in Sindh province and come to other states in the courtyard of Maa Bharti as refugees in their own country. The generation that suffered the terrible tragedy of that time is no longer with us. But, the way our elders have been describing the circumstances of those times is enough to give us all goosebumps. Now Sindh has remained with us only in our national anthem, otherwise in a way Hindu Sindhis came to India leaving the entire Sindhi literature, Sindhi history, Sindhi culture etc. In these past 75 years, we never seriously realized that the Sindh province, which was considered to be the last end of Hinduism in unbroken India and where in the year 1940, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh had the maximum number of pracharaks as compared to the entire country, we Lost it. Punjab and Bengal provinces were partitioned but Sindh province was completely lost, due to which more than 12 lakh Sindhi Hindu refugees had to be scattered in different parts of the country. Sindhi Hindus had come at that time even in such an environment, handing over the keys of their houses to their neighbors in the hope that we would come back soon and for this reason they had left almost all their belongings there because at that time they had to somehow I only had to save my life. But, unfortunately, the homes of those Sindhi brothers are still waiting for them.

Mr. Hemant Singh of Bihar says in one of his books ‘Aao Hind Mein Sindh Banaye’ that when Sindh is in the National Anthem of India, then there should be Sindh on the land of India as well. But, in Indian history, Sindh is probably like a lost child in a fair, whom every Hindu Sindhi is still hoping to meet in his mind. Hindu Sindhis had made rapid progress in Sindh province, because almost the entire trade of Sindh was being done by Hindu Sindhis. By the year 1947, minority Hindus had accumulated more than 40 percent of Sindh’s land. It is also clearly understood by the Hindu Sindhis that apart from the land, they have also lost their language, literature, art, dance, song-music, culture, dress, food etc. many dear things in the partition. Hindu Sindhi heirs of more than 5000 years of culture are feeling totally looted today.

After Hindu Sindhis left Sindh province due to separation of Sindh province from India, the condition of remaining citizens of Sindh province has gone from bad to worse after partition. Sindh has been continuously lagging behind in the path of development. Atrocities on the remaining Hindu Sindhis in Sindh province are considered a common occurrence today. Hindu Sindhi society is passing through mental tragedies like kidnapping of girls from Hindu Sindhi families, forcefully converting them and marrying them off with elders. Amidst these hellish conditions, a large section living in Sindh province has now thought that if Sindh province is to be taken on the path of progress and if atrocities on minorities (Hindu Sindhis) are to be stopped, then Sindh province should be transferred to Pakistan. Separation from is the solution to all problems.

In this context, a concerted effort is now being made by many Sindhis living all over the world including America to separate Sindh from Pakistan, for this many demonstrations are also being organized in Sindh region in which citizens of Sindh province are protesting. Getting a lot of support. However, in view of the injustice done to the minorities in Sindh province, sporadic demonstrations have been happening continuously for a long time. But, now these demonstrations are getting full support from World Sindhi Congress, Sindhudesh Liberation Army, Jai Sindhu Student, Sindh National Movement Party and many nationalist organizations of Sindh. Now this class is also demanding from US President Joe Biden and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi that Sindh province, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces should be separated from Pakistan. Many citizens are now mentally preparing themselves for the integration of Sindh province, Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa provinces into India. In fact, the people of the Sindhi community consider themselves to be the descendants of the Indus Valley Civilization. Sindhi nationalists maintain that their province was forcibly occupied by the British and that Sindh province was illegally merged with Pakistan in 1947 against the wishes of the citizens of Sindh.

This year, Chetichand is being celebrated by the Hindu Sindhi community on the new year day of the month of Chaitra, which is not only a religious festival but also a festival symbolizing the Indus culture and identity, trying to know and understand the sacrifices of Hindu Sindhis all over India. should be done and how Sindh should become a part of India again, this subject should be considered seriously. The Hindu Sindhi community should at least take this pledge on this auspicious day to integrate Sindh with India.
