Sindh could rejoin India in future, says Rajnath Singh; PoK will fall on its own

Sindh still part of India civilisationally, may return someday: Rajnath Singh

Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said that although the Sindh region is not part of India today, it remains closely connected to the country through shared civilisational and cultural history.

Speaking at an event, he noted that Sindh, located near the Indus River, became part of Pakistan after the 1947 Partition, leading many Sindhi Hindus to migrate to India.

Singh referred to former Deputy Prime Minister LK Advani’s writings, mentioning that many Sindhi Hindus of his generation still feel a sense of attachment to the region. He highlighted the importance of the Indus River in Indian heritage, adding that communities in Sindh also regarded the river’s water as sacred.

“Civilisationally, Sindh will always be a part of India,” Singh said, adding that geographical borders are subject to change over time.

During an interaction with the Indian community in Morocco on September 22, the Defence Minister also said that he believes Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) will eventually integrate with India through the aspirations of the people living there. According to him, sections of the local population have been expressing a desire for change.

His remarks come in the wider context of discussions surrounding India’s Operation Sindoor, during which some strategic experts had suggested the possibility of advancing further into PoK. Singh focused on the cultural and historical perspectives related to Sindh and the evolving situation in PoK.
