Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday said that although Sindh is not part of India today, “borders can change,” and the region could “return home” to India in the future.

He was speaking at an event where he invoked cultural and civilisational ties with the Sindh region, which went to Pakistan during the 1947 Partition.

Singh said Sindhi Hindus—especially the older generation represented by leaders like LK Advani—never truly accepted the separation of Sindh from India.

“Advani ji wrote in one of his books that Sindhi Hindus, particularly those of his generation, still haven’t accepted the separation of Sindh from India,” he said.

Highlighting the shared cultural and religious regard for the Indus River, he said, “For Hindus across India, the Indus is sacred. Many Muslims in Sindh also believed the water of the Indus was as sacred as the Aab-e-Zamzam of Mecca. This is Advani ji’s quote.”

“Today, the land of Sindh may not be with 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,” Singh added.

The Defence Minister also referred to his recent interaction with the Indian community in Morocco on September 22, where he expressed confidence that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) would “return to India on its own,” claiming that locals there were raising demands for freedom from “occupiers.”

“PoK will be ours on its own. Demands have started being made there—you must have heard the sloganeering,” he said.

He also recalled that during India’s Operation Sindoor, aimed at targeting terror infrastructure and Pakistani military support systems, some experts felt India should have advanced further into PoK to secure what he described as “territory that rightfully belongs to India.”
