The Sindhudesh Movement [1] is a separatist movement, based in Sindh, Pakistan, seeking to create a homeland for Sindhis by establishing an ethnic state called Sindhudesh (Sindhi : سنڌو ديش‎, lit. 'Country of Sindhis'), [2] [3] [4] which would be either autonomous within Pakistan [5] or independent from it. [6] [7]

Contents

The movement was founded by G. M. Syed, after Bangladesh's independence. He gave a new direction to Sindhi nationalism, founded the Jeay Sindh Tehreek in 1972 and presented the idea of Sindhudesh. [8] [9] Sindhi nationalists sometimes claims the Kutch region of India, the Lasbela District of Balochistan, and sometimes southern Punjab. [10]

Sindhi separatists reject the parliamentary path of struggle for attaining freedom and rights. [11] No Sindhi nationalist party has been ever voted into power in Sindh at any level of government. [12] [13] In recent years, several Sindhi nationalists have deserted the ideology and joined mainstream politics due to disillusionment within ranks, lack of public support, and crackdowns by law enforcement agencies. [14] Some nationalist parties and associations are banned for alleged "terrorist, anti-state and sabotage" activities by the Pakistani government. [15]

History and Diaspora

Historical Kingdom

According to the epic Mahabharata , Sindhudesh, translated as the Sindhu Kingdom, was the ancient name for modern Sindh. [16]

History of the Movement

In 1972 G. M. Syed proposed the formation of an independent nation for the Sindhis under the name Sindhudesh. He was the first nationalist politician in Pakistan to call for the independence of Sindh in a Pakistan. [9] The movement for Sindhi language and identity led by Syed drew inspiration from the Bengali language movement. [17] In post independence Pakistan, the strategy followed by the Pakistani state led Syed to come to a conclusion that the Sindhis would not be given due importance in the country. [9]

With his political base largely weakened after election, Syed later advanced his position towards openly demanding separation from Pakistan and the build-up of an independent Sindhudesh in his books Heenyar Pakistan khey tuttan khappey (Now Pakistan Should Disintegrate) and Sindhu Desh — A Nation in Chains. [18]

Reemergence of Sindhi Nationalism

After the assassination of former Prime Minister of Pakistan, Benazir Bhutto, ethnic unrest arose. Sindhi nationalists judged the country was being used to the advantage of people from non-Sindhi ethnic groups, alleged Punjabi dominance in the defence sector. [19] and believe this to be the cause of recent troubles in Sindh (see Sindhi nationalism). [20]

Sindhis in India

Sindhis in India, [21] most of whom had to be relocated out of Sindh after Partition, leaving behind their property as evacuee trusts under reciprocal government supervision.[ citation needed ] After the Partition of India, the majority of the minority Hindus and Sikhs in Pakistan migrated to India, while the Muslim migrants from India settled down in Pakistan. Approximately 10 million Hindus and Sikhs migrated to India, while nearly an equal number of Muslims migrated to newly created Pakistan from India. Hindu Sindhis were expected to stay in Sindh following the partition, as there were good relations between Hindu and Muslim Sindhis. At the time of partition there were 1,400,000 Hindu Sindhis, though most were concentrated in cities such as Hyderabad, Karachi, Shikarpur, and Sukkur. [22] [23] [24]

The concept of Sindhudesh is often also supported by Indian Sindhis[ citation needed ] most of whom want to return to their native homeland Sindh while retaining their lives in India. [22] [25] Suggestions for a Sindhi political party in India as an ethnic empowerment movement [26] for the largest minority group in Gujarat and Maharashtra included proposals of separatism and a higher degree of autonomy for the Sindhi community in India.[ citation needed ] Proposed by prominent individuals participating in the Chetichand celebration within the Sindhi community in Ahmedabad such as the Chief Minister at the time, Shri Narendra Modi (later 14th Prime minister of India). [27] Narendra Modi, in his speech gave an example of the Jewish acquisition of Jerusalem and suggested "If those who dream have strength, everything is possible" [27] The Gandhian carnival at Delhi's doorsteps won pan-Indian support for Sindhudesh. [28]

The concept of Sindhudesh is also supported by some in the Sindhi diaspora [ citation needed ] including Sindhis in India, [29] [30] most of whom had to be relocated out of Sindh after Partition, [31] leaving behind their property as evacuee trusts under reciprocal government supervision. Pre-partition, Sindh was a relative peaceful province, with communal violence only erupting sporadically and during partition.[ citation needed ] This peace stopped after partition, with post-partition migrants to Sindh angry at the "non-co-operation" in the killing of Hindus; and communal hatred multiplied post partition. [32] [33] according to a Sindhi nationalist organisation "The only backdrop for Sindhudesh movement has been the absence of national capitalist because of the migration of Sindhi Hindus from Sindh to India after partition. That’s why Sindhudesh Movement has been lacking economic, political and diplomatic means to start mass uprising against the decades of slavery, humiliation and oppression. Therefore, the independence of Sindh and establishment of secular republic of Sindhudesh is the need of the history and key to regional peace." [34] [35] [24]
