Sindh May Reunite With India in Future
New Delhi: In remarks that stirred political shockwaves across the subcontinent, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that while Sindh is not a part of India today, “borders can change,” implying that the region may one day reunite with India.
Speaking about the historical and emotional legacy shared with Sindhi Hindus—many of whom migrated to India after the 1947 partition—Singh stated that Sindh remains an inseparable part of India’s civilisational identity.

“Sindh may not be in India today, but culturally and historically it will always remain part of India. And as far as land goes—borders can change. Who knows, tomorrow Sindh may return to India,” Singh remarked.
He added that the Sindhi community, deeply connected to the Indus River’s heritage, will always be considered India’s own people—no matter where they currently reside.
Sindh, located along the Indus River, became part of Pakistan during Partition, forcing many Sindhi Hindus to migrate to Indian regions such as Gujarat, Maharashtra and Rajasthan.
Singh’s statements come amid renewed India–Pakistan tension following Operation Sindoor, launched in response to the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack that killed 26 tourists. The operation targeted terror hubs operating across Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
With these remarks, Singh has not only reignited historical memory but also triggered strategic speculation about future geopolitical realities in the subcontinent.
