Introduction

Résumé

This introduction locates conceptually and historically the selection of articles from the Journal of the Sindh Historical Society reproduced in the book. We first counter the common notion that describes Sindhi identity as “syncretic” and highlight how religious identities acquired greater political salience in Sindh in the decades leading up to Partition in 1947. This context of heightened religious polarization was the one in which the members of the Sind Historical Society wrote the articles reproduced here. Collectively, these articles not only deepen knowledge about Sindh but also the history of Pakistan and the diversity of its people. Hence, they point toward how the histories of region and nation should be “intertwined” rather than exclusive.
