Creation of a Sindh within India

Topic 57:

When Partition was declared in 1947, Sindh’s state assembly voted in favour of Pakistan. Sindh formed part of Pakistan. But Sindhis comprised of Hindus as well, and they had a large population, which lost all its identity with the land when they migrated to India.
 
The case of Punjab and Bengal was different as they were bifurcated into two Punjabs and Bengals, those Hindus and Sikh Punjabis along with Bengalis who migrated to India from Pakistani side had at least something to call a home a ‘Punjab’ and a ‘Bengal’, this is exactly what Sindhis lost when they migrated to India, they lost land they had no place to call a home, they had no ‘Sindh’, they became psychological refugees with no home (State) of their own.

As our political situations are changing and our intellect is growing, I feel a state should be carved out near border areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan which be christened as ‘Sindh’ and Sindhis who are dispersed here and there be settled there and be compensated for their psychological loss of land. Or just like State of Jammu and Kashmir the state should be made as State of Kutch and Sindh.

It would not be dividing game or a political play; it’s all about justice which should be done to Sindhis who lost their home. We as Indians know very well that what statehood means and what sense it creates, if one group of Indians are able to enjoy sense of attachment towards a place they call as their state then other group too should have that right to be enjoyed. Sindhis too have preferred right by virtue which others enjoy, to have a place to call as home a state of Sindh.

Our National Anthem retains the word Sindh; this should be taken as auspicious omen to start the process to carve out a state called Sindh near border areas of Gujarat and Rajasthan which should face a border wall with Sindh of Pakistan, for those Sindhis who migrated to India and their descendants. State of Kutch and Sindh would be a better and practical option in that regards. It was to be done right in 1947, but being late it better than never, at least there are a lot of Sindhis who had lost their land in 1947 who would get a Sindh a home in India, it would be a ray of hope for this dispersed community which lost its everything to become Indian, Indian govt. should compensate their sacrifice, create a Sindh in India!

Telangana state, the new beginning

Topic 56:

It is decided that a new state of Telangana on basis of long standing demand would come into existence. It would become the 29th state of Union of India. I welcome this decision as it would open gates for new growth and development for those living there.

Hyderabad state which on the eve of Indian independence was tried to be kept independent or merged with Pakistan by its Nawab (Princely ruler) lost its identity when it was merged with other territories to form Andhra Pradesh. That lost of identity is regained now; it will induce a further sense of patriotism. City of Hyderabad would become a common state capital for ten year that is another practical solution.

Other territories like Vidarbha, Budoland etc would catch momentum, but that too would be in the interest of integrity of India. I would welcome the Vidarbha as a state, since it comprises a very large territory and had been always kept in isolation from development and didn’t have its appropriate share of return. It perpetually suffers from drought which is overlooked in Maharashtra assembly.

I don’t feel language should be core for statehood, practical administration is better. Two well administrated states having common language are better than a single mal-administrated state with single language. Indian scenario conveys narrow minded communal parties are root causes for mal-administration due to their vote bank issues and political play cards. 

As population grows demands for separations seem valid to me. We should be ready to walk in changing scenarios. I do have some other opinions of mine but in next blog, to be continued.

Rajnath Singh, BJP and English

May be Rajnath Singh himself tried to learn English, found it difficult, so the chief executive of BJP said English has ruined the Indian culture, and there are hardly any people who speak Sanskrit.

This is the most irresponsible statement from the chief executive of the party which talks about nationalism. Does he knows how many languages are spoken in India, and what role English plays in Indian nationalism? It is the dirtiest statement of a party which talks about nationalism; this shows its true colours.

Rajnath Singh, why do you people prefer Hindi when your party gives its official statements, why not in Sanskrit? Why don’t you prefer Tamil over English than Sanskrit, Tamil is as old as Sanskrit! Which Indian culture you talk about? Rajnath Singh, the statement you gave about English, least can you give that statement in Sanskrit, if not then mock at yourself, you’re worth that!

Start Sanskrit from platform of your party, issue and ordinance that too in Sanskrit that all spokesperson whoever speaks on behalf of BJP speaks in Sanskrit, at least repeat the sentence in Sanskrit. Ask your own self, Prakash Javadekar, Sushma Swaraj and others to use Sanskrit, if they can learn English, Oh yes! English why can’t they learn Sanskrit?

Ask your premier candidate Narendra Modi to use Sanskrit; he frequently uses English, why? Ask Sushma Swaraj to use Sanskrit when she talks in Parliament. Ask Arun Jaitley to say at least something in Sanskrit instead of English. Ask Uma Bharti to talk in Sanskrit, ask Venkaiya Naidu to talk in Sanskrit than in English, ask Murli Manohar to use Sanskrit.

English is de facto the official language of India, and practically very convenient to use it in different parts of India for conversation which is otherwise quiet difficult. It was actually English which unified the conscience of North India to South India’s, West India’s to East India’s. If people follow your dictats they would lose even the sense of unity. None of Indian languages could do what English has done for Indian nationalism and sense of unity.

Rajnath Singh, I would like to ask you that what you think about English version of Constitution of Indian, whether it is harming Indian culture or strengthening Indian unity? Also, do you know how many of your party members have taken oaths in English? Can you comprehend what Constitution imply to mean when it talks about 'no discrimination on grounds of language'? India still remains backward much because people like you sit on chairs which need responsibility.

Rajnath Singh your double standard is your personal double standard or your party’s? Because your MPs try their best to impress others in Parliament by using English; forget Sanskrit they don’t even use Hindi. According to your ‘illogic’ Narendra Modi is harming Indian culture by conversing in English than in Sanskrit leave Hindi aside and he is your premier candidate? Senseless remarks might be shameless politics, divide and rule! But for your kind information India is a changed country now!
