sindh is misunderstood mainly because the vernacular language is sindhi - which is both our blessing and curse and non-Sindhis don't want to learn the language or at least try to understand the on-ground politics without reductionist "feudal lord" name calling attacks
i come from a working class family, my village has no feudal lords, most people either have jobs, small businesses and SOME have small land holdings
and my family and other village residents have always been actively involved in politics, fighting against feudal rule even to the point of breaking contacts with their Pirs in order to live without control
they are poorer because of it, they have to work harder because they don't possess land but there are many people like these who are actively fighting against feudal control
there's a rich history of indigenous struggle against feudal rule, rich history of working class+feminist struggle against control on property and women, it is diverse and complicated. stop reducing your takes to "jaahil voters"
