In the documentary Sindhustan, Sapna Bhavnani is tracing her roots while keeping a permanent record on her legs using needle and ink. This documentary moves us, Sindhis. Non-Sindhis can see through this a love story among people and their homeland called Sindh.
This documentary has moved me personally, some moments in it gave me goosebumps. Sapna has beautifully captured that feeling and nostalgia that Sindhis feel when they meet another Sindhi somewhere in the world.
Each and every one of us is so proud of our history, culture and mere essence of Sindh. Sindh is our nucleus, our orbit, where ever we go, wherever we are, we still revolve around Sindh.
Sapna has given me so much hope through this documentary and she has tried to break the thick walls that Sindhis have built around themselves, particularly the ones who were forced to leave Sindh at the time of partition. It is not the materialistic needs but a sense of belonging gives us purpose in life. Like Sapna, I strive to preserve and revive the lost parts of our culture and heritage. I want to thank Sapna for putting it out there for the next generation of Sindhis to see where they belong.
