Punjabi people are feeling annoyed with Sindhi due to their habit of abusing, blaming, criticizing, defaming, loathing, and victimizing Punjabis and the Punjabi nation, without explaining facts and figures, by creating false stories, just to blackmail the Punjabi people, pressurize the Punjabi nation, and destabilizing Punjab.
In 1901 Nara Canal and in 1932 Sukkur Barrage lands were allotted to Punjabi settlers in Rural Sindh aiming to increase the cultivating area of Sindh. Punjabi’s did the task with manual labor, as machinery was not available at that time. With the passage of time; those Punjabis were assimilated in Sindh by adopting Sindhi language, culture, and traditions, but in the 1970s, at the time of 1st PPP government under the leadership of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto, Sindhi’s forced the settlers to leave the Sindh by handing over the cultivated lands to Sindhi’s.
The majority of Punjabi landholders and well-established settlers considered it feasible to migrate to Hyderabad, Karachi, and Abroad or Back to Punjab. The remaining Punjabi settlers in Sindh are stuck people due to many reasons, therefore, they were not able to migrate and they are living in Sindh with low profile social and business lifestyle and under harassment.
