Sindhi Culture Foundation Launches ‘Come Home to Sindh’ in Bengaluru
Bengaluru, August 11, 2026: The Sindhi Culture Foundation has launched “Come Home to Sindh,” a coffee table book celebrating the history, memory, and cultural legacy of the Sindhi community. The launch was marked by a lecture titled “From Indus to Exile: An Exploration of Sindhi Nanak Panthis” delivered by researcher, author, and documentary filmmaker Amardeep Singh, held in association with the Bangalore International Centre. Inspired by the foundation’s permanent gallery, The Lost Homeland of Sindh, at the Partition Museum in Delhi, the book compiles photographs and essays depicting the spirit of a displaced community, Embassy Group said in a press release.
The publication was officially unveiled by Jitu Virwani, Chairman, Embassy Group. The Embassy Group supported the creation of the Delhi gallery, which is housed inside the Dara Shukoh Library. The permanent exhibit traces the displacement of Sindhis through fragments of traditional havelis, historical artifacts, and oral histories.
Founded to research, preserve, and share Sindhi heritage, the Sindhi Culture Foundation has spearheaded several archival and educational initiatives. Aruna Madnani, Founder and Managing Trustee, Sindhi Culture Foundation, has led the organization’s efforts, which include the “Doorway to Sindh” online video series and the “Sindh Partition Stories” oral history archive. The foundation also organizes cultural programs across India featuring folk music, Sufi traditions, and handicrafts to promote the Sindhi language among younger generations.
“Sindh is more than a place on a map, it is a living memory carried in our stories, songs, crafts and the warmth of our homes. With this book, we invite readers to walk through the streets of a homeland many have never seen, yet deeply feel. Come Home to Sindh is our way of saying, your roots are here, your history matters and your culture continues to thrive,” said Madnani.
During the launch event, Amardeep Singh detailed the spiritual traditions of Sindhi Nanak Panthis and their reverence for Guru Nanak. Drawing from field research, he outlined how these traditions evolved through colonial rule, Partition, and migration. Amardeep Singh, who previously authored the two-volume “Lost Heritage: The Sikh Legacy in Pakistan” and produced the documentary series “ALLEGORY: A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels,” currently leads the “Oneness in Diversity” audio-visual archive. The event concluded with a discussion and an informal “Taste of Sindh” community gathering.
