‘Borders can change, who knows, tomorrow Sindh may return to India again.’ This is the statement of India’s Defence Minister, Rajnath Singh, made on Sunday, as he was speaking on the situation of Sindh, a province in southeastern Pakistan.
He said there’s no certainty when the borders can change, adding that if Sindh today is not part of India but civilisationally, it would always remain part of New Delhi.
"Today, the land of Sindh may not be a part of India, but civilisationally, Sindh will always be a part of India. And as far as land is concerned, borders can change. Who knows, tomorrow Sindh may return to India again.”
Further quoting and giving reference to former deputy prime minister of India, Lal Krishna Advani’s books, Rajnath said that Sindh’s separation has still not been accepted by India, adding that the people of the province, no matter where they are, will always be part of New Delhi.
"I’d also like to mention the Lal Krishna Advani here. He wrote in one of his books that Sindhi Hindus, especially those of his generation, still haven't accepted the separation of Sindh from India. Not just in Sindh, but throughout India, Hindus considered the Indus River sacred. Many Muslims in Sindh also believed that the water of the Indus was no less sacred than the Aab-e-Zamzam of Mecca. This is Advani's quote.”
“Our people of Sindh, who hold the Indus River sacred, will always be our own. No matter where they are, they will always be ours."
