♎Book: The S(H)indh Struggle by IPS Lohit Matani and Nikhil Chandwani

♎My Review:
The S(H)indh Struggle by IPS Lohit Matani and Nikhil Chandwani is a historical non-fiction that explores the history and resilience of the Sindhi Hindu community as they faced many struggles like displacement, cultural loss and their search for a place to call their own. In this book, we are taken back into history to experience the toll the community in general had to undergo to find a place in post-partition India. We get to see the challenges they had to face through history to preserve their heritage across generations.

The author has been able to capture the courage, perseverance as well as faith they had to hold on to while faced with the worst situation ever — lose one's homeland and having to start from square one. The author highlights the importance of remembering the tales and plights of not only the revolutionaries but also the common people in general.

This book is written as a tribute to the community who had to be resilient, strong and entrepreneurial in the new India. It also discusses how, even though they have tried to build their new lives while holding onto their ancestral roots, sometimes language, traditions, memories and even tales of glory are lost as time passes on.

Overall, this book is a heartfelt narrative that will act as a reminder of the spirit of the Sindhu Hindu community.
