Etymology[edit]

Borrowed from Sindhi سنڌو ديش (sindhudēš, “Country of Sindh”).

Proper noun[edit]

Sindhudesh

  1. A sovereign state proposed by separatists to be established as a homeland for Sindhis.
    • 2007, B. Raman, The Kaoboys of R&AW: Down Memory Lane:
      He and his associates started traveling all over Sindh to propagate the cause of Sindhudesh.
  2. (historical) Sindh. (Can we add an example for this sense?)

Usage notes[edit]

  • This is a politically-charged term that was originally used to imply the land or country of Sindh. Now it is mostly used by separatists who want to separate the region from the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. See Sindhudesh on Wikipedia for more.
