Indian Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said that while Sindh is not part of India today, ‘borders can change,’ suggesting the region could potentially return to India, a message that can create a ripple effect in neighbouring Pakistan.

He said Sindhi Hindus, who were part of the generation belonging to BJP patriarch LK Advani, never accepted Sindh's separation from India.

"Sindh may not be part of India today, but civilisationally it will always be a part of India," Singh was quoted as saying by the media.

"As far as land is concerned, borders can change," he said.

"Who knows, tomorrow Sindh may again return to India," he said.

The Indian Defence Minister further said: "Our people of Sindh, who hold the Indus River sacred, will always remain our own."

"No matter where they are now, they will always be ours," he said.

The politically crucial Sindh province, which is located close to the Indus River, went to Pakistan following the 1947 partition of India.

Several Sindhi people, who lived in the region, shifted to India at that time.

His remarks are made amid heightened tension between the two countries following Operation Sindoor in May.
