To facilitate the participation of Sindhis in our “JIYE SINDHIYAT MOVEMENT”, we have initiated this blog to be used as motivation, information, interaction and debate forum. All Sindhis are requested to visit www.youngsindhis.blogspot.com to read the issues concerning Sindhiyat and to put queries, suggestions & opinions.

Jhulelal Tirath Dham
The ethnic Sindhi community comprises of over six crore people, but has
been marginalized & isolated due to scattered settlement. Sindhi Nationality is
one of the fifteen major recognized Indian Nationalities but has microscopic
minority almost in every political constituency. We have paid an enormous
price for having sacrificed our home land. We did it for our country, but today
no one has our back. Currently we have no representation, reservation or
support from any government or political organization. Lack of all of these (and
many more) things, has caused erosion of our culture, loss of our traditions,
almost vapourized our festivals, and diminished use of our language. It is high
time that the Sindhi community step up and work hard to save itself. It is a do
or die situation. No amount of explanation is enough to emphasize how dire
our community's situation is.
Past and Ongoing Effort
Amongst many others all over the country, people like, our very own
Dadi Pushpa D Advani, have been working for over four decades toward the
betterment of the Sindhi community. Under banners of World Sindhi Congress,
International Sindhi Forum, United Sindhi Forum, she, along with several
others has been working on preservation of the language, sponsoring and
supporting Sindhi artists / theatre / movies, promoting Sindhi quotas in Sindhi
colleges, preventing (& even reversing) conversion of Sindhis to other
communities, fighting for reservations & other rights with local authorities – all
the way upto the Prime Minister's Office, etc. Though these efforts have borne
fruit, it is miniscule. We are in need of a dramatic and significant change.
Dr. Subhadra Anand, ex-principal of R. D. National College, Bombay, has
researched and prepared a thesis on how a sacred spot – a “tirath dham” -
would help us preserve our community to a great extent. Getting political
change in India is not easy, but having our very own religious spot, kind of like
the Balaji Temple of the south, or Vaishnodevi temple up noth, or Jeursalem, or
the Mecca Madina, or more so like the Vatican – can help us significantly bring
our community together.
Jhulelal Tirathdham
With this in mind, a delegation of Sindhis met Shri Narendra Modi, Cheif
Minister of Gujarat. He has willingly and generously offered us huge a piece of
land in Gujarat for us to set up our “Jhulelal Tirath Dham”. This is no ordinary
land – it is one where the Sindhu river once ended. It is also surrounded by
areas that have a very high Sindhi speaking population. This place in Narayan
Sarovar has immense cultural significance.
On this land, if we can successfully build our religious centers, cultural
museums, tradition and culture promoting centers for all kinds of arts and
language, etc. we shall be taking a huge step in preserving our community.
Shri Narendra Modiji has offered us this land, in today's expensive times, at
and extremely nominal Rs. 50 per square meter – cheaper than cloth!
We have several prominent Sindhi's participating in this movement.
Currently we are looking for six more trustees. These trustees would be paying
an amount of Rs. 12,00,000 and on becoming a trustee – would form an
integral part of the Jhulelal Tirathdham Trust as founder trustees. This is an
immense honour and an enternal position to have. We hope and look forward
to your support.

letter, a map of the area around Narayan Sarovar, and a proposed plan of what
to build, by Hiranandani builders.

Do You Know That
1) Ethnic Sindhis are more than 6 crores in number
2) As per Linguistic survey of India, Sindhi Linguistic Territory (S.L.T) more than one lakh square miles in area, comprising:
Proper Sindh [Dialects: Siro\Utradi,Vicholi,Ladi,Thari] 54407 sq miles
Lasbela [Dialect: Lasi or Lassi] 4855 sq miles
Kalat [Dialect: Lasi or Lassi] 2556 sq miles
Bahawalpur[Dialect: Saraiki] 9590 sq miles
Multan [Dialect: Saraiki] 1437 Sq miles
Kuchchh [Dialect: Kuchhi] 17626 Sq miles
Jaisalmer [Dialect: Datki] 14994.7 Sq miles
Barmer [Dialect:Thali or Thareli] 10878.2 Sq miles
Jalore [Dialect:Thali or Thareli] 4078.5 Sq miles
Total 120423.4 Sq miles
In the absence of strong organization with farsighted leadership, we lost almost entire territory and are on the verge of losing about half of even PROPER SINDH, to non-Sindhi usurpers.
Do you know that:
Sindhi Nationality is one of the fifteen major recognized Indian Nationalities, but has been marginalized & isolated due to scattered settlement, reducing it in a microscopic minority almost in every political constituency. This has endangered our SINDHIYAT-------Our IDENTITY-------Our very existence as EQUAL PARTENER with other fourteen Nationalities.
Do you want to regain lost glory and equality in respect of Social status, Political rights, Economic development & Cultural facilities?
If yes, then join the organization called “SAVE SINDHIYAT MOVEMENT” sponsored by UNITED SINDHI FORUM (Registered)
Additional Information about the organization
1- Unlike other Sindhi organizations, functioning as Static Associations of ELITE SINDHIS only, this organization is dynamic mass movement of common Sindhis------------SINDHI AAM AADMI.
2- We stand for “UNITY IN DIVERSITY” of entire Sindhi Nationality of the world, comprising Sindhis in Sindh; Sindhis in Hind and Non-resident Sindhis of the rest of the world.
3- We believe in the basic cohesiveness of the SINDHI PEOPLE with ETHOS of Pre-1935 SUFIISM and Pre-1947 PURE Sindhi language----UNPOLLUTED with URDU & HINDI words.
4- The Movement offers full moral support to the Sindhis of the Sindh in their efforts to regain their original SUFI culture, their opposition to the POLITICAL DIVISION of the SINDH PROVINCE and their birth right over the water of holy river SINDHU.
5- THE MOVEMENT is to prepare Sindhi masses, especially youths for active participation in electoral polity, enabling SINDHI VOICE to reach in the DEMOCRATIC INSTITUTIONS, by ending their isolation from the mainstream of Sindhiyat.
6- We are to persuade Sindhis for diversification from business to the ADMINISTRATION & HIGH TECHNOLOGY.
7- We are committed to strengthen our linguistic & cultural relations with the people of entire Sindhi Linguistic Territory (S.L.T) as per border demarcation in the linguistic survey of India and assist in fulfilling their aspirations for the economic development of the territory. For this the Movement shall persuade Sindhi capitalists of India & abroad to invest liberally.
8- We shall actively cooperate with “JHULELALDHAM TRUST” in establishing Grand Sindhi tirathsthan at NARAYANSAROVAR over the land allotted by Shri Narendra Modi. The entire Project on completion would be the Sindhi replica of the Golden Temple in Amritsar, Lotus Temple in New Delhi, Vatican city in Italy and other similar centers.
9- For our objectives, we shall have to abandon 65 years old Sindhi practice of depending solely on the Memorandas to various authorities and follow methods of non-violent agitation as per Gandhian principles.
