confused sindhi

[DESERT FIGHTER]

partly correct. The Punjabis and Sindhis are very Indian and form 56%+ of the total population. Add the Serakis which I think is another 10%? And 70% of languages spoken are from the Indian side of the Indo-Iranian family.

Some Pakistanis do deny their Indian origin thus insulting their own anscestors! Why be ashamed of ones own parentage?

Incredibly stupid post... i mean very very stupid... the indian "analyst" doesnt know jack about Pak or her ethnic groups or demography.... yet makes statements hes not even worthy off..

My advice ... try the stupid n funny thread ..; you might not fail there...

few bordering districts of Sindh should have been included in India.

Same could be said aboult district ferozepur(which gave u access to kashmir),tehsil batalla,amritsar district(which had 60% muslim population back then)etc..All these districts and tehsils should have been given to pakistan if the mount batten had not done injustice to pakistan.

If that required a land transfer from either Bengal or Punjab or both to Pakistan I am ok with that.

You r talking about geographical ares with human populations not some toys which could have been exchanged.LOL

Pakistaniat is an egalitarian concept not an exclusive one.

No, it is not.
If it was an egalitarian concept then Pakistan would not have discriminatory laws towards its non-Muslim citizens.

Dont try to pass off your wishes as facts.

 

[Ray_of_Hope]

discriminatory laws towards its non-Muslim citizens.

And what discriminatory laws r we talking about?

That's true. I'd like to admit that my mini 'identity crisis' first came about when I started high school and my peers asked me about my background. I just told them that I'm Indian because that's pretty much how my parents identify themselves in public, although they ditch the term and identify themselves as 'Sindhi' when they're in the presence of other South Asians. I ended up digging one day and interrogated my nani about her past <> because I was curious about my identity, and she told me about the partition and everything else (she also identifies as Indian). When we fill out official forms, we've always ticked the "Asian Indian" box instead of the "Other Asian" box (which has Pakistani in small print next to it). So as you can see, I've had a somewhat confusing childhood. I think the effect is more profound for me because I'm just a third-gen American as opposed to my white friends who have American ancestors from like the 1800's. I wonder how my new-found knowledge will affect how I officially identify myself when I grow up. As progressive as America is, there is still a lot of emphasis on labels.

It does not take much to understand why your parents and grandparents identify themselves as Indian. Learn from them.
The fact that you can go to any Indian embassy and get a PIO(Person of Indian Origin) card made should also give you some clues.

Thirdly, the millions of other Sindhi Hindus who were forced to leave and are in India should give you the final clue as to where you belong.

You cannot belong to a land(Pakistan) where you are officially a second class citizen, where you have no rights to become the President or Prime Minister.

Your land used to be Sindh, it has now been taken, your land in the Indian subcontinent is now India like the millions and millions of other Sindhi Hindus.

That is rich coming from a Pakistani. Wasn't that what the partition all about?

 

[dil_dil]

Pakistan was 90% muslim even in 1947.

I m sure about one thing that it wasnt about exchanging areas.LOL

That is rich coming from a Pakistani.

Please enlighten me with your kind insight

Clearly you do not understand percentage demographic. I'll ignore your idiotic outburst given that illiteracy. Once you have acquired that aritmetic skill, refer wikipedia on key 'Pakistan ethnicity' and you will find the detail for the summary I cited.

But thank you for providing yet another confirmation of education gaps yonder

@arj771, jai jhulelal, tuhinjo nalo chha aahe sai? no need for fullname.
I had a lot of Sindhi friends, bijlani parwani lalwani etc but now I have lost contact, love dal pakwaan. There are lot of similarities between Sindhi and Kutchhi, a lot of my Kutchhi and Sindhi friends got along with each other.
Have you met any Kutchhi madu in the US? There are lots of them in Jersey area.
If you can, visit Kutchh in Gujarat. Perhaps you may find a connection there.

It's my first time on this forum and I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but anyway..

My grandparents were Hindu Sindhis from pre-partition British India, and they remained in Sindh after the partition, but they emigrated to the US a few years later citing violence towards the Hindus and an unstable environment. My mother was born in the States, and she married a guy (my father) from the Sindhi community. I was born in the early 90's in an English speaking household. My parents are proficient in Sindhi, but I never really picked it up because of the environment (you'd be hard-pressed to find any Sindhi speakers in the U.S.) and my lack of interest in the language.

I've started taking a keen interest in my heritage as of late, but the thing is that I realised that I don't really have a 'homeland'. My family's from Sindh, but they were ostracised in the years after the partition and made to leave. I guess I have more in common with India than with Pakistan because I happen to speak Hindi well, but I have no relatives in India or any other connection to the country. I don't identify with Pakistan either for obvious reasons (my grandparents went through a lot at the hands of its people... and besides, isn't Islam an integral part of the Pakistani identity? How/where do I fit in?). I don't really know how to classify myself and I know it doesn't really matter in the 21st century, but I'm kind of in the midst of an identity crisis. so yeah. any people in my position? I'd love to hear from you guys. Like if I were to visit Pakistan someday, would I be considered a part of the community despite my faith? If I were to visit India, would I be considered Indian or the Indian equivalent to a muhajir but from Pakistan?

Dude for the last time, we are not indian.

ofcourse you are not Indian, it was your ancestors from several generation ago that were converted.
The point I am trying to get across is that. One can change things like religion, language, location etc, but not DNA and associated ethnicity

We were subjects of Queen Victoria and therefore British Subjects a few Gen ago.
