There are two opposite views on Sindh, India. A lot of hindu sindhis feel there should be Sindh, India. Their feelings are based on the fear that the Sindhi culture and language will disappear if there is no Sindh, India. Also, they feel that the hindu sindhis will be able to identify themselves and feel motivated to contribute to Sindh, India. Exactly, opposite feeling prevails amongst others…who feel that even if Indian government carves out a Sindh state surrounding Gandhidam and Kandla, very few sindhis will move there as sindhis are well settled all over the world. Lets have your opinion.

Yes we definitely do need Sindh in India as there are over 1 million hindu sindhis who are stateless.
What a neat aritcle. I had no inkling.
yes,we definetly need a sindhi state and compulsory sindhi language similar to sanskrit,marathi ect. at the elementary level.
Re: Vanishing Sindhi Language and Sindhi Nation / Community of India.
There are thousands of Sindhi Association throughout the world especially in India (Almost every city), Pakistan (Almost every city / town of Sindh), America (Every county), U.K (Every county), Europe, Africa, UAE, South East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Indonesia etc), Hongkong, China, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Russian states etc. But what purpose these associations serve which may be:
• Social gathering and networking,
• Business networking,
• Protect the existence of Sindhi as a nation and Sindhi Language.
The first two objectives or any other objectives are ok but has any body thought over about the third (03) purpose i.e:
1. Are Sindhis known as a nation in the world,
2. Is Sindhi language known language in the world,
3. Does their young generation write, read and speak Sindhi language except Sindhis living in Sindh,
4. Do these associations at large serve the purpose to “Save Sindhi Culture / Language”?
5. Has anybody ever thought of existence of Sindhi as a nation and Sindhi Language especially those living in India with population over 6.0 million?
If no concrete steps are taken by them, they as Sindhi nation and Sindhi language are to vanish in next 50 years. Is it not their sacred duty and obligation to save it?
How to save it?
No nation and language can survive if they don’t have their own land.
Sindhis living in India are very progressive, adventurous and intelligent. They have the people like Motwanis, Advanis, Gidwanis, Malkanis, Kriplanis, Hirwanis, Ramchandanis, Panjwanis, Waswanis. They are capable of doing any positive thing. In a short period of 64 years after partition, they have proved that they are none next to any nation in the world in the field of education, business & trade, law, politics, social work etc. What they have not is their win land, and are therefore spread all over India and the world. Therefore, it is the necessity to have own land.
Example of Jews.
They were disturbed and wandered here and there in the world for 1400 years. Then they thought of the land for them and when they had, they are the most powerful nation of the world in terms of business / trade, armed forces, technology, research. If they had no land they could have done nothing till even today.
So, you have to adopt the same strategy or you as a nation and language are to vanish for ever.
Likely problems
1. People will avoid next migration to new land as they are well settled where they are living presently.
Answer: They are right but they have to do it as Jews did migrate as it will not be the migration like that of partition in 1947. Don’t migrate in one go but in bit by bit with time. It may take many years but remember it is a movement which may give results in centuries.
2. There will not be business and industrial platform for migrants at new land.
Answer: Yes, but it will be done with time till don’t wind up your present business / shelter where you are living presently. Infra structure for Industrial estates, business centers / towers, airports etc will take no time to be built.
3. Security:
Answer: Government which will be fully owned by Sindhis, will provide securities and facilities to make the migrants settled down and establish themselves as early as possible.
My (A Sindhi) request:
1. Impress upon the Indian Government to give a separate land for your Sindh province, which will however be part and parcel of India.
2. Accept the land even if it is a desert in Rajasthan (I believe you people will make it prosperous),
3. Name the land with word Sindh attached to it,
4. The land may preferably have the sea. But if there is no sea port, it is no big problem as at present times the business and travelling is done by air ports.
5. The land may preferably be adjacent to present Sindh where population of Sindhis (purely sons of soil) is 40.0 million. It will facilitate joint efforts to grow as Sindhi nation and Sindhi nation.
Important:
The above is my humble submission. If Sindhis living in India still don’t wake up to this cause, then they should be ready to vanish in next 50 years. The Sindhis living in Sindh (Please don’t argue religion as this time) will however continue to exist for ever.
Request to note:
Please forward my this email to all the sindhi associations (what ever nature) especially in India. Thanks a lot.
Regards,
Halo
I take it my sacred duty to inform Sindhis when ever I observe any thing particularly about Sindh, Sindhi language and Sindhi community. While I watch music, sports etc programs on India TV channels, I notice that a talented girl / boy is always called “here is Gujrati girl / boy from Gujrat (Rajasthan); here is Punjabi girl / boy from Punjab; here is Bengali girl / boy from Kolkata; here is Madrasi girl / boy from Madras and so on”. Have any body ever heard “here is Sindhi girl / boy”? What does it mean? Are you not touched when Sindhi and Sindh word is never uttered although I watched some talented Sinshi girls / boys performing in Indian TV channels and other programs? I would reiterate that time is not gone, and Sindhi Hindus should strive for their separate province in India if they want their Sindhi language, community, history, heritage to survive. Now failing which, be prepared to vanish; and you future generation will never forgive you. If Jews can do after 1400 years why can’t you? Let us hope.
Hey mate! I’ve just stopped by to thank you for this cool website! Keep working that way.
I appreciate the efforts of Sindhi Hindus living in India and world over to convert Sindhi dialect in Roman style. But I wonder as to how it is going to help them to save their identity, language, culture, heritage, history etc. I learn that Sindh Hindu community doesn’t have land to live as a community and a nation. Rather they their living, educational institutions, business etc is scattered even in India. I also learn that even their young generation feels shy to call themselves Sindhis, They are forgetting their Sindhi language, culture, heritage, history etc; then why changing the dialect to Roam style..
If they want to learn love for Sindhism, they must go to Sindh and see how Sindhi people living there love their language, culture, heritage, history etc and how hard they are working for this purpose; rather Sindh and Sindhi language is a soul & spirit for them and they can even scarify themselves for it. Thus, if Sindhi Hindus want to save their language, culture, heritage, history etc they must have your own land where they can live as a combined community instead of being scattered otherwise remember they must be prepared to vanish themselves as Sindhi in next few decades; and they should not also call themselves as Sindhism; it is all over for them if don’t open their eyes even now.
Glad to visit this blog, keep it going.

Indian government ne aaj tak sindhiyo ko kisi bhi prakar ka koi bki labh kyo nhi diya hai jabki hamari population only se lakh k beech hai jo ki jain samaj se bhi bahut kam hai. Aaj jabki muslim aur kai relision alpsankhak k dayare mai aate hai jabki unki population humse kai guna adhik hai. Kya sindhiyo k behtar bhavishya k liye hame nhi sochna chahiye?
