Sindhi nationalism

Sindhi nationalism (Sindhi:سنڌي قومپرستي‎) is an ideology that claims that the Sindhis, an ethnolinguistic group native to the Pakistani province of Sindh, form a separate nation. After Bangladeshbecame independent in 1971, G.M. Syed gave a new direction to this nationalism, founding the Jeay Sindh Mahaz in 1972 and presenting the idea of Sindhudesh, a separate homeland for Sindhis.

According to a 2009 report by the Pew Research Center, 55% of Sindhis in Pakistan identified themselves primarily as Pakistani, 28% identified first as Sindhi, and 16% viewed both identities equally.
