Sindhi Speaking Population as per Census

We have observed that absence of not enough Sindhi speaking people has resulted in many hurdles.

As per 2001 census data there were only 25,35,485 people speaking mother toungue as Sindhi.
( Twenty Five Lakh, Thirty FiveThousand, Four Hndred & Eighty Five Only )

Lets see how 25,35,485 is calculated. This number also includes Kachchhis and other people.

This year (2010) again the census data will be collected. You'll find administration people visiting your homes and asking how many people in your family can speak, read & write Sindhi.

Many people even though Sindhis by birth can not speak, read or write Sindhi and they are shy to mention that they are Sindhis. This has overall reduced the Sindhi population count.

We are deeply impacted with this count.

We have sacrificed whole of state in partition. Today we can not ask for separae state from Indian Government, because we are not many.

We are facing great difficulties in demanding 24 hour DD Sindhi Channel from Government

Since we do not have state that has indirectly impacted our language, culture and traditions. Since these are not practised much.

Not many urban young kids like being called Sindhis.
