- Forced Islamization and denial of indigenous cultures and secular Sufi traditions.
- Direct or indirect military rule or ‘governor rule’ throughout 63 years.
- Manipulation of population census figures reducing Sindh’s indigenous population into minority
- The construction in Sindh of the largest military cantonments in Asia.
