Merging Sindh with India Is the hidden Dream of Amit Shah ?

In recent years, Indian political discourse has often reflected on historical divisions, especially the partition of 1947, which carved India and Pakistan into two separate nations. Among these discussions, an idea that has surfaced time and again is the vision of merging Sindh province of Pakistan back into India an idea some political commentators have attributed to India’s Home Minister Amit Shah. But is this truly a political goal, or more of a symbolic aspiration rooted in the cultural and historical unity of the subcontinent?

Sindh, today one of Pakistan’s four provinces, has deep historical, cultural, and spiritual ties to India. Before Partition, it was an integral part of the undivided Indian subcontinent. The Sindhi community, known for its rich heritage and enterprise, was significantly impacted by Partition, with many Sindhi Hindus migrating to India, especially to Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. Even today, many Sindhis in India retain a strong emotional and ancestral connection with Sindh.

The idea that Amit Shah dreams of merging Sindh into India is not based on any official government policy. However, it stems from broader statements by him and other BJP leaders that hint at reversing the consequences of Partition, especially when discussing the concept of Akhand Bharat — a united India that includes all the regions of pre-Partition India. This concept is deeply ideological and finds its roots in the cultural narratives of the RSS (Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh), the ideological parent of the BJP.

In political rallies and interviews, Amit Shah has spoken about correcting the “mistakes of history” and reuniting territories that were once part of ancient Bharat. While these remarks often focus on integrating Kashmir and opposing any moves to divide India further, some commentators have interpreted them as symbolic gestures toward a broader reunification agenda which would, in theory, include areas like Sindh, Balochistan, and even parts of Bangladesh.

However, merging Sindh into India is not a practical or immediate geopolitical agenda. Pakistan is a sovereign nation, and any attempt to change borders through force or claim would violate international law and spark conflict. In reality, Indian foreign policy, while assertive, continues to recognize the territorial sovereignty of neighboring nations, including Pakistan.

Instead, the “dream of Sindh” should be seen more as a cultural or emotional aspiration. Many Indian Sindhis see the land of their ancestors as a lost home, and political leaders sometimes evoke these sentiments to connect with nationalist emotions. These references to Sindh are often symbolic, aiming to foster unity, pride, and a connection to India’s ancient civilization that extended from the Indus Valley in Sindh to the Ganges plains.

In this context, the Indian national anthem, “Jana Gana Mana,” famously includes the word “Sindh”, acknowledging its place in the cultural fabric of India, despite being across the border. This poetic inclusion keeps Sindh alive in India’s national consciousness, even if political borders have changed.

To conclude, the idea that merging Sindh into India is Amit Shah’s dream should be seen through the lens of historical and ideological symbolism rather than as an actionable political agenda. It represents a broader sentiment among nationalist circles the desire to restore what was lost during Partition. But as of now, India’s foreign policy continues to operate within the framework of modern borders and international norms. The dream of a united subcontinent, while emotionally powerful, remains a distant and complex aspiration.
