ealization, and not in hatred and violence. It is stupid to cancel Diwali, Dussehra,
Janmashtami, Nanak Jayanti and Christmas as holidays in Pakistan.
Since Pakistan will never allow Sindh --- and NWFP and Baluchistan --- to live its
own life and come into its own, Pakistan has got to go. “A Sufi Sindh and an
Islamic Pakistan cannot coexist, even as you can’t put two swords in one
scabbard. If Pakistan continues, Sindh will die. If, therefore, Sindh is to live,
Pakistan must die.”
This is not an easy task. There are many cowards and collaborators in Sindh.
Some of them have married Urdu- wallas --- and they even speak Urdu at home.
But all is not lost; the unconquerable will never to submit or yield, remains. The
Sindhi youth are awake. They know that if they do not act now, Sindhis will be
liquidated like the Red Indians in America --- or reduced to the position of
Harijans in Hindu society. As the Persian adage goes, “Tang ayad ba jang ayad”
(driven into a corner, anybody will fight back). And so will Sindh. A volcano is
raging underneath the apparent quiet of Sindh.
The odds are heavy. But Sindh has survived invasions of Iranians and Greeks,
Arabs and Pathans, Mughals and British. It shall overcome. It says to Pakistan:
Aado takar tar,
matan rooh ratyoon thien.
(Oh you obstructing rock, get lost, or you will be smashed to smithereens.)
It hopes to God for the fall of the establishment:
Munhiji, aasa eeha,
Kadhain keraienday Kot khay.
(I am looking forward to the collapse of that fortress.) It is sure that help will
come to Sindh if it helps itself:
Panehi eendo Hote,
Aun pin agabhari thiyan.
(My Lord will come; but let me, too, go forward --- to meet Him half-way.)
And so Sindh is looking to Porbandar, the ancient spiritual beacon for Sindh ---
for “Ghaibi maddad” (divine or mysterious help).
