Analysis of the evolution of Sindhi Identity during the Partition of India

Public project summary

Focused on the socio-cultural impact on Sindhi Hindus, who fled Sindh due to religious persecution, my study addresses the profound loss of land, family, and cultural ties of Sindi Hindus caused by the 1947 Partition of India and seeks to find the evolution of the identity of this displaced community. I employ a literature review by exploring the trauma resulting from the Partition and its effects on Sindhi Hindu socio-cultural identity, analyzing past papers, articles, and personal accounts. Utilizing qualitative and quantitative methods, I aim to identify common themes and perspective changes, drawing on historical statistics and personal narratives. The study not only aims to contribute to the understanding of the Sindhi Hindu experience before, during, and after the Partition of India but also serves as an important angle in the broader historiography of Indian minorities.
