A soon-to-launch gallery at the Partition Museum in Delhi will showcase artefacts capturing 'The Lost Homeland of Sindh'
Across much of the literature, cultural discourse and historiography around the Partition of India, stories from Punjab and Bengal tend to dominate-these were, after all, the places where the most bloodshed and suffering took place during the 1946-48 period. However, the Sindh region also saw substantial migration in this era, with one big qualitative difference. While the Punjabi and Bengali migrants or refugees had states or regions they could call 'home' in the newly-formed India, Sindhi migrants had no such recourse. Partially as a result of this, today those migrants and their families lament the diminishing influence of Sindhi food, language and culture.
