Symbol or flag of the separatists.

Sindhudesh ( Sindhi : سنڌو ديش, "Land Sindh") is a separatist movement that advocates a state of Sindh that is independent of Pakistan . The movement's founder and longstanding political leader was Ghulam Murtaza Syed (1904–1995). Syed was originally a supporter of the Pakistan idea, which wanted to unite all Muslims on the Indian subcontinent in one state. However, after the founding of Pakistan, he took oppositional positions and expressed the view that the residents of Sindh had been betrayed by the Pakistani authorities. After the Bangladesh war of 1971, which ended with the separation of the province of East Pakistan from the Pakistani state association and the establishment of the independent state of Bangladesh ("Bengali Land"), the autonomy movement in Sindh also received a boost and in 1972 Syed proclaimed his concept of an independent Sindh , "Sindhudesh". So far, however, the movement has never been able to gain political power, which is in part certainly due to Pakistan's repressive state structures. There have been repeated public protests, in particular against the dominance of the state language Urdu over Sindhi and the political dominance of the Urdu-speaking Muhajir (the descendants of Muslims who fled to Pakistan from northern India after the partition of India).
