Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, speaking at an event, said that although the Sindh region was not part of India today, borders could change in the future and the region might one day return home. He reminded the audience that Sindh province, located near the Indus River, went to Pakistan during the Partition of 1947, after which many Sindhi families migrated to India.
He noted that Sindhi Hindus, particularly from the generation of leaders like LK Advani, never fully accepted the separation of Sindh from India. Referring to Advani’s writings, he said that Sindhi Hindus of that era continued to feel a deep emotional connection with the land.

Rajnath Singh also recalled that the Indus River held immense cultural and spiritual significance not only for Hindus across India but even for many Muslims in Sindh, who regarded its waters with sacred reverence.
He stated that while Sindh might not geographically lie within India today, civilisationally it would always remain an inseparable part of India. “Borders can change,” he said, expressing hope that, one day, Sindh might return. He added that the people of Sindh, for whom the Indus River remained sacred, would always be considered part of India, regardless of where they lived.
