January 2005

This petition has been created to collect support from the worldwide Sindhi community to demand that all references to Sindh and the Sindhi people are retained within the Indian National anthem (as approved post-partition in 1950 by the Constituent Assembly of India).

To: Members of the Supreme Court & Parliament of India
CCs: Dr Manmohan Singh, Honourable Ram Jethmalani, Shivraj V. Patil, Chief Justice R C Lahoti & judge G P Mathur
Ref: PIL to Delete ‘Sindh’ from the Indian National Anthem

Dear Sirs,

We the undersigned have no option but to vehemently oppose the recent PIL (public interest litigation) filed by Mr. Sanjeev Bhatnagar to the Supreme Court of India in which he proposes the deletion of ‘Sindh’ from the Indian national anthem.

We are aware that the current geo-political position of Sindh today is in Pakistan. However, we the Sindhi people remain connected and will remain connected to India through our culture, spiritual belief, commercial activities, history and civilisation. On the basis of these facts we call on the Supreme Court and Parliament to disregard Mr. Bhatnagar’s ungrounded and offensive request.

Regards,

The Sindhi People
