G. M. Syed Or Sindh has said that all those who identify themselves with the people and culture of Sindh, will be accepted as Sindhis. After all, this is not the first time that outsiders have settled down in an area; they always adjust to the new land and the new situation, to be at peace with themselves and with the world. The “New Sindhis” are also beginning to respond to the “Old Sindhis”, Maulana Noorani, general secretary of Jamat-i-Islami, and a ranking refugee leader, has come out openly in support of the Sindhi demands. There are important people in Sindh who say India should liberate them from Pakistan --- and then keep them in lndia or outside. Any such act of mid-wifery on the part of India would be a legitimate act of liberation on the part of one democratic people for a fraternal people aspiring for democracy. Sheikh Ayaz, the most out-standing modern poet of Sindh, has been saying: “Jai Sindh! Jai Hind!” It is for the Government of India to decide whether it should help deliver the democratic baby in Pakistan. But, even if it does not, the people there can take care of the situation. Pakistan took away Karachi from Sindh in 1948: and in 1954 Sindh was forcibly merged into “One Unit”. But the Sindhis succeeded in undoing the “One Unit” and getting back Karachi in 1971. They have the will to acquire all the autonomy they want; and they will no doubt have their way. They have even given themselves the “axe” (parashu) as the symbol of the “Jiye Sindh” movement, to leave nobody in any doubt that they mean business. True, the Sindhis do not fight pitched battles; they did not fight any even when Sindh was free. They used to engage the Baluchis to fight for them --- whether the enemy was Nadir Shah or Napier. But even the single tribe of Hurs gave the British enough hell in 1943, to necessitate Martial Law in half of Sindh for a whole year. Of late all Sindh has been up in arms--even though these arms consist mostly of lathis and axes. Rasul Bux Palejo, the Sindh farmers’ leader, has been in detention since 1979. Even the Sindh Graduates’ Association has been banned. No government can keep down a people, once they are roused. So even if Government of India does not act, the people of Pakistan shall prevail against their rootless government. It will only mean some delay --- and some more suffering. That is all. Nor need anybody be surprised by the four provinces of Pakistan coming into their own under a benign Indian umbrella. Bharat Mata takes care even of her truant children. After all, even Jinnah had not visualized a permanent Indo-Pak hostility. He had said that against any foreign threat, India and Pakistan would stand together. Khaliquzzaman, a pillar of the Partition movement, said after 1971 that the Partition scheme had failed, and that a new arrangement needed to be worked out. And even Bhutto of “one-thousand-year-war” fame had thought The Sindh Story; Copyright © www.panhwar.com 117
aloud that he might not become prime minister in a reunited India, but that he could certainly hope to be its foreign minister. Of course. And even if it is too late for Bhutto, j it may be timely enough for a Jatoi, a Daultana, a Wali Khan or a Mengal. The Sindh Story; Copyright © www.panhwar.com 118
