As Intolerance Rises: Can Sindh Preserve its Culture of Coexistence?

Sindh has long been celebrated for its rich traditions of Sufism, pluralism and interfaith coexistence. From the teachings of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai and Lal Shahbaz Qalandar to the shared social life of communities in places like Mithi, the province has historically symbolized cultural harmony, tolerance and mutual respect across religious and ethnic boundaries.

Yet in recent years, incidents of religious intolerance, extremism and social polarization have raised growing concerns about the future of this shared cultural ethos.

This session explores the realities behind these developments: What social, political and ideological factors are contributing to rising intolerance in Sindh? And most importantly, how can Sindh safeguard its long-standing culture of coexistence in increasingly polarized times?

This session is free and open to all. Just visit the venue to attend it.
