Sindh Uprising: Reflections on Babarloi Protest and Beyond
The recent Babarloi sit-ins marked a powerful moment of resistance in Sindh, where lawyers, nationalist organizations and civil society groups came together to challenge the federal government’s plan to construct six new canals on the Indus River under the guise of corporate farming. This session reflects on the roots, demands and broader implications of the Babarloi protests — exploring how they relate to questions of environmental justice, federalism, resource control and the ongoing struggle for provincial autonomy. What does this uprising signify for Sindh’s political future and what lies ahead in the fight for equitable development?
