Citing Advani’s writings, Singh said Sindhi Hindus of his generation had never fully accepted the Partition that placed Sindh — historically linked to the Indus River, revered by both Hindus and many Muslims — in Pakistan. “Today the land of Sindh may not be part of India, but civilisationally it will always remain so,” he said, quoting Advani. “Advani ji wrote in one of his books that Sindhi Hindus, especially those of his generation, still haven’t accepted the matter of separation of Sindh from India”. “Not just in Sindh, but throughout India, Hindus considered the Indus River (Sindhu in Hindi) sacred.
